Asbestos survey for Peckham Bush
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t 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.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
Asbestos survey in Peckham Bush
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Peckham Bush. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical materials include floor tiles, textured ceilings and garage roofs, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
In a village like Peckham Bush, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Peckham Bush were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common reasons for surveys in Peckham Bush
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
These are some of the things we deal with in Peckham Bush:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Planned refurbishment work
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition projects
If you let flats or houses near Yalding station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you’ll receive in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264

- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
