About our asbestos survey in Netherne on-the-Hill
About to refurbish in Netherne on-the-Hill? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. We often deal with pipe lagging, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and people normally contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and purchases of older homes and buildings.
For London properties like those in Netherne on-the-Hill, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What we deal with in Netherne on-the-Hill
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Schools such as Coulsdon Sixth Form College are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

What affects the price in Netherne on-the-Hill
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges

- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The size and age of the building
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Common questions in Netherne on-the-Hill
Could my house in Netherne on-the-Hill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Netherne on-the-Hill with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings typically starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
