About our asbestos survey in Clapham Junction
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Clapham Junction, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Typical materials include floor tiles, water tanks and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are demolition and strip-out and rented homes between tenancies.
Properties in towns and villages like Clapham Junction have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Step by step
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Dig out previous surveys
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move things out of the way carefully

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
What we deal with in Clapham Junction
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
In older properties, we often see:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition projects
If you’re a landlord near Clapham Junction station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you will receive in writing
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether VAT is included
Options to consider in Clapham Junction
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Schools such as Christ Church CofE Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register. Public buildings around Clapham Junction, such as leisure centres and halls, are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

What affects the price in Clapham Junction
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- What the material is and its state
- How big the building is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
- An idea of size
- Labels, if any

Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Clapham Junction, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Clapham Junction questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Clapham Junction?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you work in Clapham Junction with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
