About our asbestos survey in North Halling
Not every older building in North Halling contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. We often deal with water tanks, garage roofs and soffits, and people normally contact us about rented homes between tenancies and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.
Village properties around North Halling often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

After we have finished in North Halling
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Going forward:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
For businesses and landlords in North Halling
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in North Halling must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Questions from North Halling
Do you cover North Halling from London?
North Halling is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around North Halling?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in North Halling?
Yes, we do: North Halling is within the area we cover in Medway. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Photo tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Where we could park
- Damaged areas
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Practical recommendations
Read our prices page or published price ranges.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How it works
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Helpful guides
What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
