Asbestos survey for Crook Log
FAQs for Crook Log
Do you work near Bexleyheath station?
Yes. Bexleyheath station is close to the centre of Crook Log, and we cover the whole area.
Is asbestos common in Crook Log homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Crook Log may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Crook Log?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Asbestos survey near Crook Log
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. People often contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and buying a property built before 2000, including pipe lagging, floor tiles and soffits.
Properties in places like Crook Log have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

What happens next
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
To avoid problems in future:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Clear next steps
- Clear advice on your options
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Domestic and commercial work

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Helpful guides
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of materials to sample
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Damaged areas
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.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
