Asbestos survey for Tutt Hill properties
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Tutt Hill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. From kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we cover boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and soffits.
Village houses like those in Tutt Hill have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Options to consider in Tutt Hill
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tutt Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common questions in Tutt Hill
Do you come out to small villages like Tutt Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings

Where asbestos turns up
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Checks on rental property
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
If you let flats or houses near Charing station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
