About our asbestos survey in St Peter's
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in St Peter's. From pre-purchase checks on older properties and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we deal with water tanks, floor tiles and garage roofs.
Homes in towns and villages like St Peter's range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What else we do in St Peter's
St Peter's: your questions answered
How far is St Peter's from London?
We cover St Peter's, about 66 miles from central London.
Do you work near Broadstairs station?
Yes, we cover St Peter's and the area towards Broadstairs station, about 0.7 miles south-east.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many outbuildings are included
- Parking and access charges
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
For businesses and landlords in St Peter's
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Options to consider in St Peter's
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?

- Condition assessed for every material

- Recommendations in plain English

After the job
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Some practical advice:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
