Asbestos survey in Wanshurst Green
If you’re buying a home or building in Wanshurst Green from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Whether it’s community buildings and halls and demolition projects, we cover textured ceilings, garage roofs and soffits.
Around a village like Wanshurst Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What else we do in Wanshurst Green
Materials we deal with
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.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
Step by step
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Common reasons for surveys in Wanshurst Green
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in Kent can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These come up again and again:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you have an older property in Wanshurst Green, near St Michael and All Angels Church or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
Questions to ask before booking
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Once we’re done:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
