“May be present” tells buyers nothing useful. Level 2 and 3 surveys flag the risk but test nothing. A pre-purchase asbestos survey replaces vagueness with lab results and figures you can put to use.
We survey and sample the suspects and return a costed report. Each finding is paired with a fixed removal or management price. Your solicitor gets evidence to use. You get leverage or reassurance.

Every finding priced, fixed, ready to act on
Every pre-purchase asbestos survey in Kent follows the same 4-step process, from booking through to a written report with cost estimates within 48 hours.
We arrange a pre-purchase survey visit within 24 to 48 hours of your enquiry. We coordinate access directly with the vendor or estate agent on your behalf.
Our BOHS (British Occupational Hygiene Society)-qualified asbestos surveyors in Kent inspect all accessible areas without damaging the property. We locate and assess every visible asbestos-containing material present.
We submit controlled samples from all suspect materials to a UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service)-accredited laboratory. We receive confirmed results before compiling your final report.
You receive a full written pre-purchase report within 48 hours of the survey. On completion, you receive a consignment note. This legally confirms your waste has been disposed of correctly under the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005.
A laboratory certificate alongside a fixed quote is stronger than any verbal hedge a building surveyor can offer.
We commit to your exchange date upfront or tell you honestly that we cannot meet it.
The survey fee is not added again to the removal price if you proceed with us.
Many flagged asbestos items turn out to be minor managed materials. Knowing that keeps transactions alive.
FAQS
It is a flag, not a finding. Building surveyors identify the possibility and recommend specialist investigation. They do not sample, test or cost anything. Our asbestos survey is that specialist investigation: the step that moves the file from “may be present” to “is present, in these specific locations, and costs this amount to resolve.”
Yes, with the seller’s consent, which estate agents organise as a matter of routine for this type of instruction. A vendor who declines access to a straightforward pre-purchase inspection is communicating something worth noting.
In most cases yes. Survey within a few days, priority laboratory analysis and a costed report to you and your solicitor ahead of the exchange date. Give us the date when you get in touch and we will commit or be upfront if we cannot deliver.
That is a decision for you and your solicitor, but our report supports whichever route you choose. A fixed asbestos removal cost gives you the precise figure to seek off the asking price, or a written specification the vendor’s contractor must match. Most buyers prefer to take the reduction and manage the works themselves after completion.
You have bought certainty. A clean survey report neutralises the homebuyer flag for your mortgage lender, your solicitor and your own peace of mind. A negative result is a positive outcome, not a fee spent on nothing.
Regularly. Tight timescales and unmodernised stock are exactly the conditions where these surveys matter most. We plan access and turnaround specifically around the compressed timeframes these purchases involve.
Almost always. The cost is typically a fraction of an asbestos-related price adjustment, and a clean result provides the certainty that keeps nervous buyers and cautious lenders moving forward. It is usually the most cost-effective tool in the transaction.
No. You commissioned it and it belongs to you. Most buyers share the findings and costs section through solicitors as negotiation material, which is precisely what the report format is designed for. The timing and manner of disclosure is entirely your decision.
We carry out every asbestos survey across Kent, from terraces in Maidstone and conversions in Canterbury to semis in Sevenoaks and Tonbridge, and ex-council and coastal stock from Margate to Folkestone. Give us the address and the exchange date and we will work backwards from the deadline.
