Asbestos survey for Yopps Green properties
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Common materials are water tanks, garage roofs and flues, and people normally contact us about demolition and strip-out and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
Rural homes near Yopps Green have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Options to consider in Yopps Green
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. Our guide explains which you need. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why us?
- Practical recommendations
- Domestic and commercial work
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Yopps Green: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Yopps Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Yopps Green from London?
Yopps Green is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Yopps Green buildings and asbestos surveys

We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Yopps Green to London (about 23 miles away).
If you have an older property in Yopps Green, near Plaxtol Church or anywhere else, survey the areas you are working on before work starts. If you let flats or houses near Borough Green & Wrotham station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance. Yopps Green is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.

What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- How many samples are needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How much sampling is needed
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Yopps Green, you have a duty to 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.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
