Asbestos survey for Plashet
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Plashet were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and 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.
Asbestos survey near Plashet
Our surveys in Plashet cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Typical jobs include the communal parts of blocks of flats and public and community buildings, including garage roofs, textured ceilings and water tanks.
In a London neighbourhood like Plashet, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Weighing up your options
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why choose us
- Covering London and the South East
- Practical recommendations
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

FAQs for Plashet
Do you cover Plashet and the area around Woodgrange Park station?
Yes. Woodgrange Park station is about 0.5 miles north of Plashet, and we cover both.
Can you work in Plashet with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you cover Plashet?
Yes. We cover Plashet and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The size and age of the building
- The type of survey you need
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- An overall view
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.

Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

After we’ve finished in Plashet
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
