Asbestos survey in Park Gate

Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and workplaces built before 2000, involving textured ceilings, pipe lagging and flues.
Around a village like Park Gate, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why us?
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Covering London and the South East
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
After we’ve finished:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Park Gate
Do older homes in Park Gate have 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.
Do you cover Park Gate from London?
Park Gate is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
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.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is a survey needed before building work in Park Gate?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How we price an asbestos survey
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- How much there is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Access to the area
- The type of survey you need
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Before we arrive
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Clear the way to the work area
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Typical surveys in Park Gate
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition and strip-out
Schools such as Park Gate Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
