Asbestos survey in Belvedere
Planning building work in Belvedere? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical jobs include rented homes between tenancies and demolition projects, involving floor tiles, flues and soffits.
London buildings in areas like Belvedere have typically been altered many times, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Belvedere questions
Can you work in Belvedere with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Belvedere?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Belvedere?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Some practical advice:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Belvedere were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Why people call us in Belvedere
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
In older properties, we often see:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Non-domestic buildings, Lessness Heath Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding

The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
