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. From pre-work surveys for trades and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we cover pipe lagging, textured ceilings and garage roofs.

Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.

Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
After we have finished in Limpsfield
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Limpsfield must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

- Demolition and strip-out
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes due for maintenance

FAQs for Limpsfield
Can you survey a school or hall near Limpsfield?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Limpsfield from London?
We cover Limpsfield, about 17 miles from central London.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Limpsfield?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, 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
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
