Asbestos help in Morden
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos survey for Morden properties
Buying an older property in Morden? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Whether it’s kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and soffits and more.
Properties in towns and villages like Morden have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Morden were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Morden, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
- How big the building is
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
Photos often save us a visit:
- The access route
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A picture of the whole area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
To get a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.

How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
