Asbestos survey for Woolage Village properties
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Woolage Village. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. People often contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and planned refurbishment work, involving pipe lagging, garage roofs and soffits.
Village properties around Woolage Village often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
What we deal with in Woolage Village
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
These come up again and again:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report

- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use

Common questions in Woolage Village
Do you come out to small villages like Woolage Village?
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 Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
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.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
