Asbestos survey for Earlsfield properties
If you are buying a home or building in Earlsfield from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. From community buildings and halls and purchases of older homes and buildings, we cover soffits, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
For London properties like those in Earlsfield, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Weighing up your options
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Covering London and the South East
- Domestic and commercial work
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
What happens next
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
How it works
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Find any old asbestos reports

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
