Asbestos survey near Broad Green
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Broad Green, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. From the communal parts of blocks of flats and surveys requested by builders before work, we deal with floor tiles, soffits and garage roofs.
In places like Broad Green, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common reasons for surveys in Broad Green
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
Non-domestic buildings, Elmwood Infant School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- What the report or result will contain
- The scope, in writing
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Once we’re done:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before booking builders
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How we work
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Getting ready
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move things out of the way carefully

- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Broad Green questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Broad Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near West Croydon station?
Yes, we cover Broad Green and the area towards West Croydon station, about 0.6 miles south.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Do you cover Broad Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Broad Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
