FAQs for Raynes Park
Do older homes in Raynes Park have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Raynes Park may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Raynes Park and the area around Raynes Park station?
Yes. Raynes Park station is close to the centre of Raynes Park, and we cover the whole area.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
How we work
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. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- 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
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
