Questions from Dulwich Village
Do you work in Dulwich Village despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is asbestos common in Dulwich Village homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Dulwich Village can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a survey needed before building work in Dulwich Village?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Dulwich Village?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Asbestos survey in Dulwich Village
Our surveys in Dulwich Village cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Common materials are floor tiles, textured ceilings and garage roofs, and typical jobs are rented homes due for maintenance and surveys requested by builders before work.
Before work on a flat or house in Dulwich Village, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a 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. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Condition assessed for every material
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Reports and results you can share
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we deal with in Dulwich Village
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
These come up again and again:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you let flats or houses near North Dulwich station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Questions to ask before you book
- The number of samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Which areas and materials are covered
What affects the price in Dulwich Village
What drives the price:
- Parking and access charges
- How much sampling is needed
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The number of samples or the size of the building

Sending photos

- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
