Asbestos survey near Brompton
Asbestos survey in Brompton
Plenty of older buildings, in Brompton as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. Typical materials include water tanks, pipe lagging and soffits, and people normally contact us about checks on rental property and public and community buildings.
In Brompton, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How many samples are needed
- Travel and parking
- How much sampling is needed
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A rough size or measurement
- Damaged areas
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
How it works
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 those areas need to be empty. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Brompton questions
Do you cover Brompton from London?
Brompton is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Chatham station?
Yes, we cover Brompton and the area towards Chatham station, about 0.7 miles south-west.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Brompton?
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’re planning.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.

Your options compared
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
