About our asbestos survey in Roehampton
Plenty of older buildings, in Roehampton as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours. People often contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and the communal parts of blocks of flats, including pipe lagging, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels.
London buildings in areas like Roehampton have usually been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Roehampton, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How easy it is to reach
- How many different materials need sampling
- The survey type
- The type of material and its condition
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A clear close-up
- Visible markings
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Condition assessed for every material
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear advice on your options
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
What we deal with in Roehampton
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in Greater London can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades
Leisure centres, halls and other public buildings around Roehampton are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What your quote should include
- How many samples are included
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Questions from Roehampton
Can you survey a school or hall near Roehampton?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Roehampton and the area around Barnes station?
Yes, we cover Roehampton and the area towards Barnes station, about 0.8 miles north.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work in Roehampton?
We do: our area includes Roehampton and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
The process
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- 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
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
