About our asbestos survey in Tangley
Buying an older property in Tangley? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. We often deal with water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs, and typical jobs are buying a property built before 2000 and community buildings and halls.
Village properties around Tangley often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- The right survey for your plans
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Accredited laboratory results
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
What we do and don’t cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use

- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches

DIY and asbestos
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What we deal with in Tangley
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Tangley
Do you come out to small villages like Tangley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Tangley homes?
Any home in Tangley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you work in Tangley?
Yes, Tangley is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
