Common questions in Walter's Green
Do you come out to small villages like Walter's Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Walter's Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Walter's Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you cover Walter's Green?
Yes. We cover Walter's Green and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Walter's Green?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Where asbestos turns up
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Community buildings and halls
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition projects
- Workplaces built before 2000
For a school like Fordcombe Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- What you will receive in writing
- The number of samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Which option is right?
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you’re comparing like with like. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
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 own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
How it works
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Going forward:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Survey first, then book the trades
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
