Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

About our asbestos survey in Osterley
Plenty of older buildings, in Osterley as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Whether it’s checks on rental property and surveys requested by builders before work, we deal with textured ceilings, garage roofs and pipe lagging and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Osterley, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What else we do in Osterley
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.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
FAQs for Osterley
Is asbestos common in Osterley homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Osterley and the area around Isleworth station?
Yes, we cover Osterley and the area towards Isleworth station, about 0.9 miles south-east.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The size and age of the building
- How much there is
- How much sampling is needed
- What the material is and its state
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

The most useful photos are:

For businesses and landlords in Osterley
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Osterley, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- 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 must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
