How asbestos survey works in Sudbury Hill
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with, in plain English. People often contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, involving textured ceilings, flues and floor tiles.
For London properties like those in Sudbury Hill, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
After we’ve finished in Sudbury Hill
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

What we deal with in Sudbury Hill
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Greater London can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition projects
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Rented homes between tenancies
Leisure centres, halls and other public buildings around Sudbury Hill are non-domestic premises, so their owners must manage any asbestos.
Before booking anyone
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- The number of samples
Your options compared
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Records for your files
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Practical recommendations
How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How many outbuildings are included
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- Visible markings
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Common questions in Sudbury Hill
Do older homes in Sudbury Hill have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sudbury Hill can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Sudbury Hill?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Some limits to bear in mind:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
