Asbestos survey for Wrotham Heath properties
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. Typical jobs include managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including flues, garage roofs and soffits.
Village houses like those in Wrotham Heath have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What affects the price in Wrotham Heath
We base our quote on:
- How many different materials need sampling
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
- How many outbuildings are included
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Duty holders and landlords in Wrotham Heath
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wrotham Heath must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Step by step
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After we have finished:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What it might be made of
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.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Wrotham Heath
Do you cover Wrotham Heath from London?
Wrotham Heath is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you survey a school or hall near Wrotham Heath?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
