Asbestos survey for Stone Cross
How asbestos survey works in Stone Cross
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. Typical jobs include checks on rental property and demolition projects, including water tanks, garage roofs and floor tiles.
Village houses like those in Stone Cross have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Non-domestic buildings, Fordcombe Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is usually where that starts.

Anywhere in TN3, an asbestos survey is available, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your property could be on Ashurst Road and Groombridge Road or the roads around them.

Looking after things afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After we have finished:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Across London and the South East
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Domestic and commercial work
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Stone Cross
Do older homes in Stone Cross have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Stone Cross and the area around Ashurst Kent station?
Yes, we cover Stone Cross and the area towards Ashurst Kent station, about 1 mile west.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you cover Stone Cross?
We do: Stone Cross is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
