About our asbestos survey in Denmark Hill
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Denmark Hill. Common materials are garage roofs, soffits and water tanks, and typical jobs are common parts of flats and HMOs and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
Before work on a flat or house in Denmark 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 there are no surprises.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Denmark Hill buildings and asbestos surveys
Denmark Hill is about 1 mile east of Stockwell, in Greater London. Properties in Denmark Hill range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Denmark Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Schools such as Lyndhurst Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Leisure centres, halls and other public buildings around Denmark Hill are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Wherever your property is in SE5, SE24 and SW9, an asbestos survey is available. We can help with surveys on streets such as Wren Road, Grove Lane and Lowth Road. We also carry out surveys in Camberwell (1 mile north), East Dulwich (1 mile south-east), Herne Hill (1 mile south), Peckham (1 mile east) and Dulwich Village (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also work in City of Westminster (4 miles north-west), Marylebone (4 miles north-west), Kensington (5 miles north-west), St Pancras (4 miles north), Shoreditch (4 miles north) and Walthamstow (9 miles north).

What it costs
What drives the price:
- How many different materials need sampling
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The building’s size and layout
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- How we’d reach it
Not sure what you need? Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Once we’re done:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
What happens
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- 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 isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

FAQs for Denmark Hill
Do you cover Denmark Hill and the area around Denmark Hill station?
Yes, we cover Denmark Hill, including the streets around Denmark Hill station.
Could my house in Denmark Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Denmark Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Denmark Hill?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
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.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
