Asbestos survey for Crews Hill properties
Planning building work in Crews Hill? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. People often contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and planned refurbishment work, involving garage roofs, soffits and boiler cupboard panels.
Before work on a flat or house in Crews Hill, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready

- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Helpful guides
The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Keeping things safe:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Your options compared
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Clear next steps
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Domestic and commercial work

FAQs for Crews Hill
Is asbestos common in Crews Hill homes?
Any home in Crews Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Crews Hill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The number of materials to sample
- Travel and parking
- The size of the job
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
