About our asbestos survey in Fulham
Managing agents and landlords in Fulham use surveys so trades know what to avoid. From rented homes due for maintenance and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we deal with garage roofs, textured ceilings and flues and more.
Before work on a flat or house in Fulham, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Surveys around Fulham
Fulham is about 2 miles south of Kensington, in Greater London. Fulham is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Planning work on an older building in Fulham, whether near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere? Get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up. A school such as St Johns Walham Green Church of England Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Here we cover the SW6, W6 and W14 postcode area. We can help with surveys on streets such as Lampeter Square, Fulham High Street and Hurlingham Square. Fulham sits on or near the A219 and A304; tell us about parking if you’re on a main road.

What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- A picture of the whole area
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Move things out of the way carefully

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Fulham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If your business premises in Fulham were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Typical surveys in Fulham
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That’s why so many buildings in Greater London can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In older properties, we often see:
- Checks on rental property
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition projects
Public buildings around Fulham, such as leisure centres and halls, are non-domestic premises, where the duty to manage asbestos applies.

Fulham: your questions answered
Can you work in Fulham with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Could my house in Fulham contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Fulham can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in Fulham?
We do: Fulham is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
