Asbestos survey for Chart Sutton
Options to consider in Chart Sutton
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. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Accredited laboratory results
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

Asbestos survey for Chart Sutton properties
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. From planned refurbishment work and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we deal with water tanks, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
In a village like Chart Sutton, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
How we price an asbestos survey
Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of materials to sample
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let us know where we can park

Helpful guides
Why people call us in Chart Sutton
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
These come up again and again:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition and strip-out
For a school like Langley Park Primary Academy, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
Before you book anyone
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- 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
