Towns and villages near Avery Hill
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

- The communal parts of blocks of flats

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time

A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.

Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
