Asbestos survey near Bedgrove
Buying an older property in Bedgrove? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are common parts of flats and HMOs and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
In Bedgrove, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
A few practical points:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How much there is
- The building’s size and layout
- What the material is and its state
- The number of materials to sample
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The access route
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Practical recommendations
- Reports and results you can share
- The right survey for your plans

Where asbestos turns up
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Got an older property in Bedgrove, close to Church of the Holy Spirit or further out? Survey the areas you are working on before work starts.
What your quote should include
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bedgrove
Do you cover Bedgrove from London?
We cover Bedgrove, about 36 miles from central London.
Can you survey a school or hall near Bedgrove?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
