About our asbestos survey in Way
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Whether it’s demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and schools, halls and community buildings, we cover pipe lagging, soffits and textured ceilings and more.
In a village like Way, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Way
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Way?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Way and the area around Minster station?
Yes, we cover Way and the area towards Minster station, about 0.9 miles south-west.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Floor tiles and adhesive

Way buildings and asbestos surveys

Planning work on an older building in Way, whether near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. For a school like Minster Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. The sea is within about 4 miles of Way, and coastal properties often have porches, canopies and outbuildings that a survey can include.
Surveys anywhere in CT12 start with the postcode and some photos. Whether your property is on Wayborough Hill and Way Hill or a nearby road, the process is the same. Close by, we cover Mount Pleasant (1 mile north-west), Sevenscore (1 mile south-east), Minster (1 mile west), Acol (1 mile north-west) and Cliffs End (2 miles south-east).

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Way, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
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.
Your options compared
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. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Domestic and commercial work
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Typical surveys in Way
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Checks on rental property
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
If you are a landlord near Minster station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
