Need an asbestos survey in Eel Pie Island?
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before you book, note that:
- 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 timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles

About our asbestos survey in Eel Pie Island
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. From planned refurbishment work and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we deal with water tanks, garage roofs and soffits.
For London properties like those in Eel Pie Island, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Weighing up your options
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. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Common questions in Eel Pie Island
Do you work in Eel Pie Island despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you cover Eel Pie Island and the area around Twickenham station?
Yes. Twickenham station is close to the centre of Eel Pie Island, and we cover the whole area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Eel Pie Island?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What happens
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Common reasons for surveys in Eel Pie Island
The danger usually comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Got an older property in Eel Pie Island, close to St Mary's Church or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
