Asbestos survey for Beddington
Beddington questions
Do you work near Waddon station?
Yes, we cover Beddington and the area towards Waddon station, about 0.7 miles east.
Can you survey a school or hall near Beddington?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Beddington?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
About our asbestos survey in Beddington
About to refurbish in Beddington? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. People often contact us about kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and schools, halls and community buildings, including textured ceilings, garage roofs and pipe lagging.
In a London neighbourhood like Beddington, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials in Beddington
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive

- Boiler cupboards and panels

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The number of materials to sample
- How many samples are needed
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

To avoid problems in future:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
