About our asbestos survey in Coombe Hill
For landlords and managing agents in Coombe Hill, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. People often contact us about checks on rental property and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, including boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and flues.
Before work on a flat or house in Coombe Hill, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Weighing up your options
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

After we’ve finished in Coombe Hill
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once we’re done:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Coombe Hill: your questions answered
Do you work near Norbiton station?
Yes, we cover Coombe Hill and the area towards Norbiton station, about 1.6 miles south-west.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Coombe Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
