About to refurbish in Plaitford Green? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. We often deal with pipe lagging, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are buying a property built before 2000 and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.
Village properties around Plaitford Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common reasons for surveys in Plaitford Green
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Checks on rental property
- Planned refurbishment work
For rented homes close to Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
