Asbestos survey for Wilsley Green properties
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Wilsley Green, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and workplaces built before 2000, involving floor tiles, textured ceilings and flues.
In a village like Wilsley Green, 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. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Questions from Wilsley Green
Do you come out to small villages like Wilsley Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Which option is right?
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Going forward:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Things not to do
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
What we deal with in Wilsley Green
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Kent can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
These are some of the things we deal with in Wilsley Green:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Checks on rental property
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Workplaces built before 2000
For a school like Cranbrook Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
