Asbestos survey in TN16: what to expect

Our surveys in TN16 cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Typical jobs include refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and community buildings and halls, including garage roofs, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels.

A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point.

Where we survey in TN16

Surveys across TN16 are for homes before renovation, rented property, workplaces and buildings due for demolition, from Biggin Hill, Westerham and Tatsfield to small villages.

Biggin Hill: For rented homes close to Woldingham station, share asbestos information with trades before work. If you have an older property in Biggin Hill, near St Mark's Church or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.

Doing it yourself?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

What we deal with in TN16

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:

Surveys requested by builders before work
Rented homes between tenancies
Demolition and strip-out
Purchases of older homes and buildings

Which option is right?

A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need.

Materials, one by one

Pipe lagging

Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.

Floor tiles and adhesive

Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.

TN16: your questions answered

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Do landlords need an asbestos survey?

Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats generally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.

Do you work in flats?

Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

How can I get a price?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
