Asbestos survey near Tudeley
Your options compared
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

How asbestos survey works in Tudeley
Before you buy, build or let in Tudeley, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. From rented homes between tenancies and planned refurbishment work, we cover boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
Rural homes near Tudeley have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

The process
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. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- 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
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

What happens next
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After we’ve finished:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding

Common reasons for surveys in Tudeley
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in Kent can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Planned refurbishment work

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Tudeley
Do you cover Tudeley from London?
We cover Tudeley, about 28 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Tudeley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Tudeley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.

Non-domestic buildings, The Schools at Somerhill among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is usually where that starts. For rented homes close to Tonbridge station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
For businesses and landlords in Tudeley
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Tudeley, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
