Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
About our asbestos survey in Leaves Green
The type of survey you need in Leaves Green depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll match the survey to the plan. From planned refurbishment work and buying a property built before 2000, we cover boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and pipe lagging.
For London properties like those in Leaves Green, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The number of materials to sample
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
- Labels, if any
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you are comparing like with like. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Reports and results you can share
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
Read our prices page or our cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Questions from Leaves Green
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you survey a school or hall near Leaves Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
What happens
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.

What we do and don’t cover
Before booking, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Where asbestos turns up
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Rented homes between tenancies
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
For a school like Meridian High School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
What to look for in a quote
- The report contents
- Whether extra samples cost more

- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
