A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Asbestos survey near New Street
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in New Street. Whether it’s rented homes between tenancies and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and soffits.
Rural homes near New Street have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in New Street
How far is New Street from London?
New Street is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What we deal with in New Street
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition and strip-out
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you have an older property in New Street, near Church of Saint Peter or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
