The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let us know if something’s broken

Asbestos survey near Sheerness
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Sheerness. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Typical materials include flues, garage roofs and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are schools, halls and community buildings and purchases of older homes and buildings.
Sheerness has a mix of older and newer homes, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition projects
A school such as Rose Street Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Weighing up your options
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you are comparing like with like. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
