DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Duty holders and landlords in Stalisfield
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Keeping things safe:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before booking builders
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Common questions in Stalisfield
Do you cover Stalisfield and the area around Charing station?
Yes. Charing station is about 2.5 miles south of Stalisfield, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

We do: Stalisfield is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Stalisfield?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Which option is right?
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
