Asbestos survey near Burwood Park
About our asbestos survey in Burwood Park
If a building in Burwood Park dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical jobs include demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and shops, offices and industrial units, including soffits, flues and garage roofs.
Around a village like Burwood Park, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Options to consider in Burwood Park
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Condition assessed for every material
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Records for your files

What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

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.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common questions in Burwood Park
Could my house in Burwood Park contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Burwood Park from London?
Burwood Park is about 17 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is a survey needed before building work in Burwood Park?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.

Common reasons for surveys in Burwood Park
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
These come up again and again:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Public and community buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
Non-domestic buildings, Cleves School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether VAT is included
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
