Asbestos survey in Hurlingham
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Hurlingham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is typically the starting point. People often contact us about planned refurbishment work and buying a property built before 2000, including boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and flues.
Before work on a flat or house in Hurlingham, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
Typical surveys in Hurlingham
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
- Community buildings and halls
Non-domestic buildings, Sulivan Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.

- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before booking builders
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
What happens
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. It helps if we can park nearby.

FAQs for Hurlingham
Do you work near Imperial Wharf station?
Yes, we cover Hurlingham and the area towards Imperial Wharf station, about 0.8 miles east.
Can you survey a school or hall near Hurlingham?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you cover Hurlingham?
Yes, we do: Hurlingham is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
