Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Questions from St Nicholas at Wade
How far is St Nicholas at Wade from London?
We cover St Nicholas at Wade, about 59 miles from central London.
Do you cover St Nicholas at Wade and the area around Birchington-On-Sea station?
Yes. Birchington-On-Sea station is about 2.7 miles north-east of St Nicholas at Wade, and we cover both.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How it works
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
