Asbestos survey near Seething Wells
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Seething Wells, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. People often contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and community buildings and halls, including floor tiles, soffits and garage roofs.
Properties in areas like Seething Wells have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging

Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Seething Wells, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Seething Wells
Could my house in Seething Wells contain asbestos?
If your home in Seething Wells was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Seething Wells despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Parking and access charges
- The size of the job
- The size and age of the building
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in Greater London can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.

- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Halls and leisure centres near Seething Wells fall into the non-domestic category, where the duty to manage asbestos applies.

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 those areas need to be empty. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- 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
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
