Asbestos survey for Warren Street
The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
About our asbestos survey in Warren Street
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Warren Street, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Common materials are textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and soffits, and typical jobs are checks on rental property and demolition projects.
Rural homes near Warren Street have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- How easy it is to reach
- How many outbuildings are included
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- An overall view
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Some practical advice:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
For managing agents and freeholders in Warren Street, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Helpful guides
Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear written quotes
- Covering London and the South East

Warren Street: your questions answered
Do you cover Warren Street and the area around Lenham station?
Yes, we cover Warren Street and the area towards Lenham station, about 2.4 miles west.
Do you come out to small villages like Warren Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
