Asbestos survey for Rusthall properties
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Rusthall. From demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and schools, halls and community buildings, we cover garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
Homes in areas like Rusthall range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Duty holders and landlords in Rusthall
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why us?
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
How we work
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the way to the work area
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
How to get a quote
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

After the job
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After we have finished:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

What we do and do not cover
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Common questions in Rusthall
Can you survey a school or hall near Rusthall?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How far is Rusthall from London?
We cover Rusthall, about 29 miles from central London.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
