About our asbestos survey in Platt
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Platt. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Whether it’s rented homes between tenancies and purchases of older homes and buildings, we cover pipe lagging, soffits and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Village properties around Platt often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Platt
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Platt from London?
Platt is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Where asbestos turns up
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Demolition projects
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Rented homes between tenancies
If you have an older property in Platt, near Church of St Mary or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.

Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
