Asbestos survey near Petteridge
For landlords and managing agents in Petteridge, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. Typical jobs include pre-purchase checks on older properties and public and community buildings, involving soffits, water tanks and flues.
Around a village like Petteridge, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- How much sampling is needed
- The type of survey you need
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The building’s size and layout
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- An overall view
- Damaged areas
- How we’d reach it
- Visible markings
You will get a written quote. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Getting ready

Petteridge: your questions answered
Do you cover Petteridge from London?
Petteridge is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, we cover Petteridge and the area towards Paddock Wood station, about 2.6 miles north.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
What happens next
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Some practical advice:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
