Asbestos survey in Teddington
Any building in Teddington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical jobs include schools, halls and community buildings and rented homes due for maintenance, including water tanks, floor tiles and soffits.
In a London neighbourhood like Teddington, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What affects the price in Teddington
Every quote reflects:
- Material and condition
- How much there is
- The number of materials to sample
- How many outbuildings are included
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A clear close-up
- Street parking nearby
- The access route
- Labels, if any
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
For businesses and landlords in Teddington
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Typical surveys in Teddington
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
These come up again and again:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
If you are a landlord near Teddington station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
What your quote should include
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Areas included and excluded
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
How we work
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, before going to an accredited laboratory. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Helpful guides
Teddington: your questions answered
Can you work in Teddington with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is asbestos common in Teddington homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Teddington?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What we do and don’t cover
Before you book, note that:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
What to avoid
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
