Asbestos survey for Snodland properties
About to refurbish in Snodland? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
In a smaller place like Snodland, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Questions from Snodland
Can you survey a school or hall near Snodland?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How far is Snodland from London?
We cover Snodland, about 26 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Which option is right?
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. See our guide to which survey you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
For businesses and landlords in Snodland
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Snodland must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues

What else we do in Snodland
After we have finished in Snodland
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
