Asbestos survey near Street End
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Street End, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include demolition and strip-out and shops, offices and industrial units, including flues, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
Village properties around Street End often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

Common questions in Street End
How far is Street End from London?
Street End is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work in Street End?
Yes, Street End is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.

If we find something that’s damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
