How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much sampling is needed
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How big the building is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
Helpful photos:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.
Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Keeping things safe:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hampstead Garden Suburb must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies

Hampstead Garden Suburb questions
Do you work in Hampstead Garden Suburb despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Hampstead Garden Suburb and the area around Brent Cross West station?
Yes. Brent Cross West station is about 2.1 miles south-west of Hampstead Garden Suburb, and we cover both.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
How it works
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report. 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 confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
How to prepare
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
Ask for a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
