Asbestos survey near Well Street
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Well Street, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Common materials are floor tiles, garage roofs and water tanks, and people usually contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and schools, halls and community buildings.
Rural homes near Well Street have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Well Street
Do you cover Well Street and the area around East Malling station?
Yes. East Malling station is about 0.5 miles east of Well Street, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Well Street homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you cover Well Street?
Yes, Well Street is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Non-domestic buildings, The Malling School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What you’ll receive in writing
- The scope, in writing
For businesses and landlords in Well Street
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Well Street must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your options compared
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Recommendations in plain English
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Condition assessed for every material
- Clear advice on your options

After we’ve finished in Well Street
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
