Asbestos survey near Lee
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
About our asbestos survey in Lee
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Lee must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is usually the starting point. People often contact us about planned refurbishment work and common parts of flats and HMOs, involving flues, soffits and water tanks.
Rural homes near Lee have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Going forward:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Schools such as Oasis Academy Lord's Hill are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What the report or result will contain
- Which areas and materials are covered
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
