Asbestos help in Tyler Hill
Common questions in Tyler Hill
Do you work near Canterbury West station?
Yes, we cover Tyler Hill and the area towards Canterbury West station, about 1.6 miles south.
Can you survey a school or hall near Tyler Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once we are done:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Typical surveys in Tyler Hill
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
In older properties, we often see:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
For rented homes close to Canterbury West station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How many samples are included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Duty holders and landlords in Tyler Hill

A closer look at the materials
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.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
How we work
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. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Let us know where we can park
