Asbestos survey for Rush Green properties
The type of survey you need in Rush Green depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll recommend the right one. Whether it’s schools, halls and community buildings and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we deal with flues, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
Before work on a flat or house in Rush Green, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

How we price an asbestos survey
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The building’s size and layout
- The type of material and its condition
- How much there is
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The parking area
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, 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.

What else we do in Rush Green
Rush Green questions
Do you work in Rush Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do older homes in Rush Green have asbestos?
Any home in Rush Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Rush Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
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.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
If you have an older property in Rush Green, near St Augustine of Canterbury Church or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Going forward:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
