How asbestos survey works in Well Hill
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Well Hill, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. We often deal with flues, garage roofs and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are surveys requested by builders before work and community buildings and halls.
For London properties like those in Well Hill, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

- The number of samples or the size of the building
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Well Hill
Do you work near Knockholt station?
Yes. Knockholt station is about 1.1 miles south-west of Well Hill, and we cover both.
Could my house in Well Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Well Hill can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why people choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Work done to the regulations
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
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.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Why people call us in Well Hill
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These come up again and again:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Planned refurbishment work
A school such as Chelsfield Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What the report or result will contain
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
After we have finished in Well Hill
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
