Asbestos survey near Merton Park
Before you buy, build or let in Merton Park, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Typical jobs include schools, halls and community buildings and surveys requested by builders before work, involving pipe lagging, soffits and boiler cupboard panels.
London buildings in areas like Merton Park have typically been altered many times, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, 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
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The type of material and its condition
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The size of the job
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- Approximate dimensions
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Duty holders and landlords in Merton Park
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.

Questions from Merton Park
Could my house in Merton Park contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey a school or hall near Merton Park?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you cover Merton Park?
Yes, Merton Park is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
