About our asbestos survey in Sibertswold
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Sibertswold must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is typically the starting point. Typical materials include soffits, floor tiles and garage roofs, and typical jobs are the communal parts of blocks of flats and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Village properties around Sibertswold often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Questions from Sibertswold
Do you cover Sibertswold and the area around Shepherds Well station?
Yes. Shepherds Well station is close to the centre of Sibertswold, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is a survey needed before building work in Sibertswold?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.

- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
- How we’d reach it

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
