How asbestos survey works in Clare Market
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Common materials are water tanks, garage roofs and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and public and community buildings.
For London properties like those in Clare Market, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
How it works
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. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What affects the price in Clare Market
The cost depends on:
- The size and age of the building
- The type of survey you need
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access to the area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- How we’d reach it
- Labels, if any
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Duty holders and landlords in Clare Market
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Typical surveys in Clare Market
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Greater London can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition projects
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
If you manage lettings around London Charing Cross station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Before you book anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The scope, in writing
- If the price includes VAT
Which option is right?
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you are comparing like with like. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What you get
- Condition assessed for every material
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Accredited laboratory results

What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Clare Market

Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
