Asbestos survey in Ivybridge
Asbestos survey near Ivybridge
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 Ivybridge, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. From checks on rental property and pre-purchase checks on older properties, we deal with floor tiles, garage roofs and textured ceilings.
London buildings in areas like Ivybridge have typically been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen

What else we do in Ivybridge
Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

FAQs for Ivybridge
Can you survey a school or hall near Ivybridge?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you work in Ivybridge with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
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 do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
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
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Going forward:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
