For managing agents and freeholders in Staplehurst, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
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:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Staplehurst
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Staplehurst from London?
Staplehurst is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings generally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do you work in Staplehurst?
We do: Staplehurst is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Helpful guides
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
