Materials, one by one
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.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Asbestos survey in Streatham Park
Buying an older property in Streatham Park? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. People often contact us about public and community buildings and pre-purchase checks on older properties, involving boiler cupboard panels, flues and garage roofs.
In places like Streatham Park, 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. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Not sure what you need? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t 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. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Helpful guides
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Typical surveys in Streatham Park
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
These come up again and again:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Workplaces built before 2000
For a school like St Leonard's Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
What your quote should include
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Common questions in Streatham Park
Can you survey a school or hall near Streatham Park?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos common in Streatham Park homes?
Any home in Streatham Park built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. 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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
