Asbestos survey in Kingston

The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. We often deal with garage roofs, flues and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are demolition and strip-out and planned refurbishment work.

In a smaller place like Kingston, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Afterwards

Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.

Staying safe afterwards:

  • Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
  • Describe the 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
  • Have any old surveys or plans ready

What to avoid

Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Kingston: your questions answered

Do you work near Woburn Sands station?

Yes, we cover Kingston and the area towards Woburn Sands station, about 1.9 miles south-east.

Can you survey a school or hall near Kingston?

Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Does someone need to be there?

We need access to every area in the job.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Do landlords need an asbestos survey?

Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

Materials we deal with

Floor tiles and adhesive

Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Pipe lagging

Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.

Limits to be aware of

Worth knowing before you book:

  • The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
  • 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

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • The survey scope

Photos that help

  • Labels, if any
  • Where we could park
  • An idea of size
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it

For businesses and landlords in Kingston

If your business premises in Kingston were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Options to consider in Kingston

A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Why us?

  • Clear notes on any areas not reached
  • Homes, rented property and workplaces
  • Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
  • Recommendations in plain English

See our prices page or our cost guide.

Can I do it myself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
