Asbestos survey for Northfleet Green properties
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will tell you which suits your plans in Northfleet Green. Typical jobs include public and community buildings and rented homes between tenancies, including floor tiles, garage roofs and water tanks.
Rural homes near Northfleet Green have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

After we’ve finished in Northfleet Green
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Northfleet Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Why people call us in Northfleet Green
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there is no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
A school such as Painters Ash Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
