Asbestos survey near Strawberry Hill
Asbestos survey in Strawberry Hill
If you are buying a home or building in Strawberry Hill from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Typical materials include flues, garage roofs and floor tiles, and typical jobs are workplaces built before 2000 and buying a property built before 2000.
Properties in places like Strawberry Hill have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
How we work in Strawberry Hill

See how we price jobs and our cost guide.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
The process
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Mention any parking restrictions

Questions from Strawberry Hill
Can you work in Strawberry Hill with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Strawberry Hill homes?
If your home in Strawberry Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
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.
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once we are done:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- How many samples are needed
- How many different materials need sampling
- The building’s size and layout
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
