Asbestos survey in Temple Hill
Any building in Temple Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Whether it’s schools, halls and community buildings and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, we cover floor tiles, flues and soffits.
In Temple Hill, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The survey scope
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How easy it is to reach
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An overall view
- The parking area
- An idea of size

- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Getting ready

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Temple Hill
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Temple Hill?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near Dartford station?
Yes, we cover Temple Hill, including the streets around Dartford station.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
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.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why people choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Common reasons for surveys in Temple Hill
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.

- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
