Asbestos help in Teynham Street
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- 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 plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Asbestos survey for Teynham Street properties
If a building in Teynham Street dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Common materials are pipe lagging, floor tiles and flues, and typical jobs are workplaces built before 2000 and public and community buildings.
Rural homes near Teynham Street have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Teynham Street questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Teynham Street?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Teynham Street and the area around Teynham station?
Yes. Teynham station is about 0.8 miles south-west of Teynham Street, and we cover both.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Teynham Street, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

What else we do in Teynham Street
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t 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. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- The right survey for your plans
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

If you have an older property in Teynham Street, near Church of St Mary or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up. Schools such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.

What happens next
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
A few practical points:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
