About our asbestos survey in Crofton Park
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Crofton Park, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory.

In towns and villages like Crofton Park, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Common reasons for surveys in Crofton Park
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shops, offices and industrial units
If you have an older property in Crofton Park, near Church of St Hilda or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.

How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- How many outbuildings are included
- Travel and parking
- The survey scope
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- A clear close-up
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once we are done:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Questions from Crofton Park
Do you work in Crofton Park despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Is asbestos common in Crofton Park homes?
Any home in Crofton Park 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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Crofton Park?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Crofton Park?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
