Helpful guides
How asbestos survey works in Cold Harbour
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. From buying a property built before 2000 and common parts of flats and HMOs, we cover soffits, water tanks and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Cold Harbour have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Cold Harbour
How far is Cold Harbour from London?
We cover Cold Harbour, about 30 miles from central London.
Could my house in Cold Harbour contain asbestos?
Any home in Cold Harbour built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
What affects the price in Cold Harbour
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How many samples are needed
- The size and age of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A picture of the whole area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
- Approximate dimensions
Each job is priced individually. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After we’ve finished in Cold Harbour
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Common reasons for surveys in Cold Harbour

Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Duty holders and landlords in Cold Harbour
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
