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. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare

- Warn neighbours if needed
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Asbestos survey for Clapham Park properties
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Clapham Park, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include pre-work surveys for trades and planned refurbishment work, involving textured ceilings, water tanks and garage roofs.
London buildings in areas like Clapham Park have typically been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Where asbestos turns up
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
In older properties, we often see:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition projects
If you have an older property in Clapham Park, near Church of the Holy Spirit or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Before you book anyone
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Areas included and excluded
- If the price includes VAT
- Suitable insurance for the work
For businesses and landlords in Clapham Park
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.
If you run a business from older premises in Clapham Park, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
FAQs for Clapham Park
Do you work in Clapham Park despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near Clapham High Street station?
Yes, we cover Clapham Park and the area towards Clapham High Street station, about 0.8 miles north.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
