Asbestos survey in Priestwood Green
About our asbestos survey in Priestwood Green
About to refurbish in Priestwood 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. People often contact us about checks on rental property and schools, halls and community buildings, involving pipe lagging, soffits and floor tiles.
Around a village like Priestwood Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Priestwood Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Priestwood Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Priestwood Green from London?
We cover Priestwood Green, about 22 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Priestwood Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Priestwood Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a survey needed before building work in Priestwood Green?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Do you cover Priestwood Green?
We do: Priestwood Green is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The survey type
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- How big the building is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
Photo tips:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels

How it works
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, so you can keep people away. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
