How asbestos survey works in Puddle Dock

An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Puddle Dock, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and shops, offices and industrial units, including boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and water tanks.

In areas like Puddle Dock, 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. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Doing it yourself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

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.

Questions from Puddle Dock

Can you work in Puddle Dock with London’s parking rules?

We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

Is asbestos common in Puddle Dock homes?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Puddle Dock can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Do landlords need an asbestos survey?

Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.

How do I get a quote?

Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?

If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Helpful guides

Looking after things afterwards

Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe

Avoid these

Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Where asbestos turns up

Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.

You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:

Buying a property built before 2000
Pre-work surveys for trades
Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Public and community buildings

Schools such as The James Oglethorpe Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
