Asbestos survey in Roundshaw
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Roundshaw. From contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and buying a property built before 2000, we cover floor tiles, garage roofs and water tanks.
For London properties like those in Roundshaw, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What happens
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 those areas need to be empty. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
The scope of an asbestos survey
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
Common reasons for surveys in Roundshaw
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Greater London can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Public and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Surveys requested by builders before work
If you are a landlord near Wallington station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Questions to ask before booking
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What the report or result will contain
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Roundshaw were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Roundshaw must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Questions from Roundshaw
Do you work near Wallington station?
Yes. Wallington station is about 0.9 miles north-west of Roundshaw, and we cover both.
Do you work in Roundshaw despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Roundshaw?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
