Asbestos survey near Mugswell
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
About our asbestos survey in Mugswell
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Mugswell. Whether it’s kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and purchases of older homes and buildings, we deal with soffits, pipe lagging and flues and more.
London buildings in areas like Mugswell have typically been altered many times, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Mugswell, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms

Mugswell questions
Do you work in Mugswell despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Could my house in Mugswell contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Mugswell may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Mugswell?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
