How asbestos survey works in Emerson Park
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Emerson Park, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about checks on rental property and surveys requested by builders before work, including pipe lagging, flues and textured ceilings.
London buildings in areas like Emerson Park have normally been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Keeping things safe:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

Other services in Emerson Park
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Questions from Emerson Park
Could my house in Emerson Park contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Emerson Park despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Emerson Park?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
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 rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there’s no single place to look.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Buying a property built before 2000
Schools such as Nelmes Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether VAT is included
- What the report or result will contain
- The number of samples
How it works
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep children and pets away on the day
