Asbestos survey near Sholden Meadows
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Asbestos survey in Sholden Meadows
If you are buying a home or building in Sholden Meadows from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. People often contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and workplaces built before 2000, involving floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
Village houses like those in Sholden Meadows have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging

What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The size of the job
- How much sampling is needed
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Questions from Sholden Meadows
Do you cover small places like Sholden Meadows?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Deal station?
Yes. Deal station is about 1.3 miles east of Sholden Meadows, and we cover both.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Why people call us in Sholden Meadows
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Checks on rental property
For a school like Sholden Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sholden Meadows, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Sholden Meadows, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
