Asbestos help in Bromley
Asbestos survey near Bromley
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. People often contact us about purchases of older homes and buildings and the communal parts of blocks of flats, including textured ceilings, floor tiles and pipe lagging.
In places like Bromley, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

What we deal with in Bromley
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Public and community buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Checks on rental property
Halls and leisure centres near Bromley fall into the non-domestic category, so their owners must manage any asbestos.
What your quote should include
- The number of samples
- What you will receive in writing
- Which areas and materials are covered
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
Bromley buildings and asbestos surveys
Bromley is about 8 miles south-east of London, in Greater London. If your survey is in Bromley, let us know about access. We work in all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. Our area stretches from Bromley to London (8 miles away).
Schools such as St Mark's 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 generally where that starts.

Common questions in Bromley
Do you work in Bromley despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Bromley?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How we price an asbestos survey
When we quote, we look at:
- The survey type
- The size and age of the building
- How much there is
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally well bound in.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials in Bromley
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
