About asbestos survey in ME10

The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report.

Sittingbourne: Got an older property in Sittingbourne, close to Church of the Holy Trinity or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. If you’re a landlord near Sittingbourne station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Typical surveys in ME10
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
Typical jobs in ME10 include:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Schools, halls and community buildings
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The size of the job
- How many samples are needed
- The building’s size and layout
- Access to the area
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in ME10
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which asbestos survey do I need in ME10?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
