Asbestos survey near Berry's Green

What you are planning in Berry's Green decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will recommend the right one. We often deal with floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging, and people typically contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.

In a London neighbourhood like Berry's Green, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. We only recommend work that is needed.

Materials we deal with

Floor tiles and adhesive

Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Insulating board

Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.

What’s included, and what isn’t

We’re upfront about what’s included:

The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Doing it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Berry's Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

After we’ve finished in Berry's Green

If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.

Going forward:

Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Survey first, then book the trades
Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings

Avoid these

If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.

Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Berry's Green questions

Can you work in Berry's Green with London’s parking rules?

We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.

Is asbestos common in Berry's Green homes?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Berry's Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.

Can you survey offices and warehouses?

Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.

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.

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?

Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.

How dangerous is asbestos?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

Options to consider in Berry's Green

A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
