Asbestos survey for Pearson's Green properties
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Pearson's Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is typically the starting point. From kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we deal with garage roofs, soffits and textured ceilings.
In a village like Pearson's Green, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Pearson's Green
Do you work near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, we cover Pearson's Green and the area towards Paddock Wood station, about 2 miles north-west.
Could my house in Pearson's Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Pearson's Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Soffits and porch canopies

Typical surveys in Pearson's Green
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
In older properties, we often see:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
Schools such as Mascalls School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

- Whether VAT is included
- How many samples are included

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
What happens next
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
What to avoid
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
