Asbestos survey near Peckham
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Peckham. People often contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and workplaces built before 2000, including floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
In places like Peckham, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Peckham questions
Can you work in Peckham with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Can you survey a school or hall near Peckham?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
To avoid problems in future:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
The process
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Dig out previous surveys

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it

Weighing up your options
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work.
