About our asbestos survey in Chinbrook
If you’re buying a home or building in Chinbrook from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. We often deal with pipe lagging, soffits and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are common parts of flats and HMOs and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
In a London neighbourhood like Chinbrook, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What we deal with in Chinbrook
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look.
Typical jobs in Chinbrook include:
- Public and community buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
Halls and leisure centres near Chinbrook fall into the non-domestic category, so the duty to manage applies.

Which option is right?
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Clear next steps
- Every main survey type
- Records for your files

Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Chinbrook were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
After the job
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Once we are done:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Chinbrook: your questions answered
Do you cover Chinbrook and the area around Grove Park station?
Yes. Grove Park station is close to the centre of Chinbrook, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work in Chinbrook despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.
