How asbestos survey works in Temple Park
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Temple Park, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Whether it’s rented homes between tenancies and demolition and strip-out, we cover flues, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
In places like Temple Park, surveys usually cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Temple Park
How far is Temple Park from London?
Temple Park is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Temple Park have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Temple Park can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
How we work in Temple Park
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Condition assessed for every material
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Across London and the South East

Afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Going forward:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Avoid these
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Why people call us in Temple Park
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.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Rented homes due for maintenance
