For businesses and landlords in Dartmouth Park
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Asbestos survey in Dartmouth Park
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Dartmouth Park, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include community buildings and halls and purchases of older homes and buildings, involving pipe lagging, flues and textured ceilings.
In areas like Dartmouth 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. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes due for maintenance
If you have an older property in Dartmouth Park, near Church of St Mary Brookfield or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Before you book anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The scope, in writing
- The number of samples
- What the report or result will contain
What happens next
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Going forward:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- 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
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
How it works
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and access
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Common questions in Dartmouth Park
Is asbestos common in Dartmouth Park homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Dartmouth Park may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Dartmouth Park despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: 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’ll advise.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
