Asbestos survey in Wissenden
Asbestos survey in Wissenden
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Wissenden, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. From public and community buildings and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we deal with garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles and more.
Village surveys around Wissenden can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Questions from Wissenden
Do you cover Wissenden and the area around Pluckley station?
Yes. Pluckley station is about 1.5 miles north-east of Wissenden, and we cover both.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Wissenden?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.

Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The survey scope

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
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, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Why people call us in Wissenden
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Demolition projects
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Workplaces built before 2000
A school such as Bethersden Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
