How asbestos survey works in Ditton Hill
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Ditton Hill, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. We often deal with pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and flues, and people usually contact us about purchases of older homes and buildings and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.
For London properties like those in Ditton Hill, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Ditton Hill: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Ditton Hill?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work in Ditton Hill despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you cover Ditton Hill?
We do: our area includes Ditton Hill and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
What we deal with in Ditton Hill
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Shops, offices and industrial units
For a school like Long Ditton Infant and Nursery School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Other services in Ditton Hill
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
Choosing the right option
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What you get
- Clear advice on your options
- Clear written quotes
- Condition assessed for every material
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
See our prices page and the cost guide.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
