How asbestos survey works in Eastfields
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Eastfields. From pre-purchase checks on older properties and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we cover boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and water tanks and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Eastfields, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Material and condition
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Travel and parking
- How easy it is to reach
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. 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:
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
- Damaged areas
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once we’re done:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs

Weighing up your options
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? 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.
Why people choose us
- Recommendations in plain English
- Across London and the South East

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What we deal with in Eastfields
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Greater London can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
