Asbestos help in Stockland Green

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Asbestos survey for Stockland Green properties

What you are planning in Stockland Green decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will match the survey to the plan. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, soffits and garage roofs, and people typically contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and community buildings and halls.

Village properties around Stockland Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

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 hidden under newer flooring.

Textured coatings

We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.

Stockland Green: your questions answered

Do you survey schools and community buildings around Stockland Green?

Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Will I get the price in writing?

Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Do landlords need an asbestos survey?

It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Can you quote from photos?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

What’s included, and what isn’t

What’s in and what’s out:

  • Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
  • A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
  • The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Common materials

  • Water tanks and flues
  • Garage and shed roofs
  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Artex and textured coatings
  • Boiler cupboards and panels
  • Ceiling tiles
  • Roofing felt and bitumen
  • Pipe lagging
  • Cement sheets and cladding
  • Soffits and porch canopies

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Typical surveys in Stockland Green

Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.

These come up again and again:

  • Pre-work surveys for trades
  • Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
  • Planned refurbishment work
  • Community buildings and halls

For a school like Speldhurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
