Doing it yourself?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Asbestos survey near Shooter's Hill

If a building in Shooter's Hill dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. We often deal with garage roofs, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels, and people usually contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and rented homes due for maintenance.

For London properties like those in Shooter's Hill, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

A closer look at the materials

Floor tiles and adhesive

We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.

Roofing felt and bitumen

Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.

Limits to be aware of

It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:

A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too

What we deal with in Shooter's Hill

Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there is no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.

People normally contact us about one of these:

Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
Community buildings and halls
Purchases of older homes and buildings
Common parts of flats and HMOs

For a school like Shooters Hill Sixth Form College, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.

Questions to ask before booking

Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
How many samples are included
What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Choosing an asbestos contractor

Weighing up your options

A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Why people choose us

We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.

Do you work near Falconwood station?

Yes, we cover Shooter's Hill and the area towards Falconwood station, about 0.9 miles south-east.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

What if my house is newer?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Yes, we do: our area includes Shooter's Hill and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

What happens

Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
