Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Where asbestos turns up
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Kent can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition and strip-out
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
If you have an older property in Teasley Mead, near All Saints or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How many samples are included
- The report contents
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

For businesses and landlords in Teasley Mead
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Your options compared
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Common questions in Teasley Mead
Do you cover small places like Teasley Mead?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Teasley Mead contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Teasley Mead may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Teasley Mead?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
