Asbestos survey near Bermondsey

What you are planning in Bermondsey decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will match the survey to the plan. Common materials are floor tiles, pipe lagging and garage roofs, and typical jobs are the communal parts of blocks of flats and checks on rental property.

For London properties like those in Bermondsey, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Prices and what affects them

The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:

Travel and parking
Access to the area
How many outbuildings are included
The type of material and its condition

The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Helping us quote

Photos often save us a visit:

Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
The access route
Where we could park
Visible markings

Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.

Weighing up your options

A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

What’s included, and what isn’t

Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:

A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Materials we see

Ceiling tiles
Artex and textured coatings
Water tanks and flues
Garage and shed roofs
Soffits and porch canopies
Floor tiles and adhesive
Roofing felt and bitumen
Boiler cupboards and panels
Cement sheets and cladding
Pipe lagging

How it works

The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.

How much does an asbestos survey cost?

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bermondsey

Could my house in Bermondsey contain asbestos?

Any home in Bermondsey built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover Bermondsey and the area around London Bridge station?

Yes, we cover Bermondsey and the area towards London Bridge station, about 0.7 miles north-west.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?

Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

What paperwork will I get?

It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

How quickly can you come out?

It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

How can I get a price?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Doing it yourself?

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.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

About asbestos surveys

For landlords, agents and businesses

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

If you run a business from older premises in Bermondsey, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Materials we deal with

Insulating board

Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.

Textured coatings

Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.

Common reasons for surveys in Bermondsey

Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.

Typical jobs in Bermondsey include:

Checks on rental property
Demolition projects
Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
Public and community buildings

Schools such as Boutcher Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
