Asbestos survey in Temple Ewell
Asbestos survey near Temple Ewell
Plenty of older buildings, in Temple Ewell as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you are in. Whether it’s pre-work surveys for trades and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we deal with garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and soffits and more.
In a village like Temple Ewell, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Temple Ewell
Do you come out to small villages like Temple Ewell?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you survey a school or hall near Temple Ewell?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you work in Temple Ewell?
We do: Temple Ewell is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
How we work
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the area

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
