Asbestos survey for Tattenham Corner properties
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Tattenham Corner. Typical jobs include rented homes between tenancies and shops, offices and industrial units, including pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.
In a village like Tattenham Corner, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Tattenham Corner: your questions answered
Do you cover Tattenham Corner and the area around Tattenham Corner station?
Yes, we cover Tattenham Corner, including the streets around Tattenham Corner station.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Tattenham Corner?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
