Asbestos survey for Round Street
About our asbestos survey in Round Street
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Round Street. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Common materials are pipe lagging, textured ceilings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are common parts of flats and HMOs and rented homes between tenancies.
Rural homes near Round Street have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Questions from Round Street
Do you come out to small villages like Round Street?

Do you work near Sole Street station?
Yes, we cover Round Street and the area towards Sole Street station, about 0.6 miles south.
Do you cover Round Street?
Yes. We cover Round Street and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats usually do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Choosing the right option
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Accredited laboratory results
- Clear next steps

Typical surveys in Round Street
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
In older properties, we often see:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Planned refurbishment work
- Checks on rental property
- Surveys requested by builders before work
For a school like Cobham Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.
What to look for in a quote
- The report contents
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Suitable insurance for the work
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles

Step by step
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Helpful guides
After we have finished in Round Street
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How many samples are needed
- Travel and parking
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any
- Damaged areas
