Asbestos survey in Malden Rushett
Asbestos survey for Malden Rushett properties
If a building in Malden Rushett dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical materials include water tanks, soffits and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about rented homes due for maintenance and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.
Properties in areas like Malden Rushett have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

What affects the price in Malden Rushett
Every quote reflects:
- The type of survey you need
- How much there is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- What the material is and its state
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- Where we could park
- The access route
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Common questions in Malden Rushett
Do you work near Chessington South station?
Yes, we cover Malden Rushett and the area towards Chessington South station, about 1.3 miles north.
Do older homes in Malden Rushett have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Malden Rushett may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
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.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Malden Rushett?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
How do I get a quote?
