Asbestos survey in Kitts End
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical jobs include refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and the communal parts of blocks of flats, including floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs.
Before work on a flat or house in Kitts End, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in Kitts End
Can you work in Kitts End with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you survey a school or hall near Kitts End?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, before going to an accredited laboratory. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.

Options to consider in Kitts End
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 planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us

Afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After we have finished:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- 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

- Which survey type fits your plans
- The size and age of the building
- How many samples are needed
