Asbestos survey for Sewardstone properties
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Sewardstone, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. From planned refurbishment work and community buildings and halls, we deal with textured ceilings, soffits and garage roofs and more.
In areas like Sewardstone, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.

It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.

FAQs for Sewardstone
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Sewardstone?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you work in Sewardstone with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Sewardstone?
That depends on what you are planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Do you cover Sewardstone?
We do: our area includes Sewardstone and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Options to consider in Sewardstone
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear advice on your options
- Condition assessed for every material

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The size of the job
- How many different materials need sampling
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of survey you need
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- A picture of the whole area
- How we’d reach it
- Labels, if any
- A close-up from a safe distance
Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.
Typical surveys in Sewardstone
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there is no single place to look.
These are some of the things we deal with in Sewardstone:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Rented homes due for maintenance
A school such as Prince of Wales Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
Before booking anyone
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What the report or result will contain
Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Going forward:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
How to get a quote
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
