How asbestos survey works in Streatham
For landlords and managing agents in Streatham, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. Typical jobs include workplaces built before 2000 and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, including soffits, floor tiles and garage roofs.
London buildings in areas like Streatham have generally been altered many times, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Typical surveys in Streatham
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
If you let flats or houses near Streatham station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Streatham
Is asbestos common in Streatham homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Streatham station?
Yes, we cover Streatham, including the streets around Streatham station.
Do you cover Streatham?
Yes. We cover Streatham and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
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.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The size of the job
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The building’s size and layout
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

The process
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 the rooms must be cleared. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Before we arrive
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
How to get a quote
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
