After we have finished in Underling Green
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
A few practical points:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

What we deal with in Underling Green
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Kent can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Planned refurbishment work
If you manage lettings around Marden station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Before booking anyone
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Which areas and materials are covered
- If the price includes VAT
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

FAQs for Underling Green
Do you cover Underling Green from London?
Underling Green is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Underling Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
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.
The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. It helps if we can park nearby.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
