Asbestos survey for Pedlinge properties
What you are planning in Pedlinge decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll match the survey to the plan. People often contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, involving water tanks, pipe lagging and flues.
Village properties around Pedlinge often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Pedlinge
Do you come out to small villages like Pedlinge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Pedlinge from London?
Pedlinge is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
For businesses and landlords in Pedlinge
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Pedlinge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common reasons for surveys in Pedlinge
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Kent can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Planned refurbishment work
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Workplaces built before 2000
For a school like Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
What your quote should include
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether extra samples cost more
- What you’ll receive in writing
How we work
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let us know where we can park

Weighing up your options

We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Read our prices page or published price ranges.
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
A few practical points:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
What affects the price in Pedlinge

To be clear about the scope:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
