Asbestos survey in Streatham Hill
What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Asbestos survey in Streatham Hill
About to refurbish in Streatham Hill? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical materials include soffits, pipe lagging and textured ceilings, and people normally contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and checks on rental property.
Properties in areas like Streatham 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. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.

Which option is right?
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.

Questions from Streatham Hill
Could my house in Streatham Hill contain asbestos?
If your home in Streatham Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Streatham Hill station?
Yes. Streatham Hill station is close to the centre of Streatham Hill, and we cover the whole area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Warn neighbours if needed

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Streatham Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
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 Hill
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Community buildings and halls
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition and strip-out
For a school like Christ Church, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
