Asbestos Surveys & Testing in Canterbury
RICS asbestos surveys, testing and management reports in Canterbury and Kent for homes, commercial premises and refurbishment projects. Fixed fees.
If you need an asbestos survey in Canterbury, speed and certainty matter: refurbishment can’t start, and sales can stall, until you know what is in the fabric of the building. Our asbestos surveys and testing cover homes, commercial premises and refurbishment projects across Canterbury and Kent ā from pre-purchase checks on 1950sā80s properties, where asbestos products were most common, to management surveys landlords need to stay compliant.
Every survey includes sampling by trained surveyors, UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis, and a clear report identifying each material found, its condition and risk, and exactly what to do about it ā manage, encapsulate or remove. Where asbestos is part of a wider purchase decision, we can combine testing with a full building survey or structural engineering inspection, so you get one joined-up picture of the property. Results are typically back within days, fees are fixed in writing before we attend, and we will tell you honestly when a material is low-risk and better left managed than disturbed.
Canterbury's Asbestos Assessment Service
For a long time, it was not known whether asbestos was harmful or not. Until it was banned in the late 1990s, it had many applications in the construction industry. If you have a home that was built before 1990, you may have some of the materials found in your home that contain asbestos.
These materials are mainly in parts of your home where you'd expect to find roofing and insulation, but asbestos could also be in places like ceiling tiles, wall panels, or with some Artex-type coatings. There is no risk unless you disturb the material.
