How asbestos survey works in Tooting
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Tooting, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. We often deal with soffits, pipe lagging and flues, and typical jobs are demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.
For London properties like those in Tooting, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Options to consider in Tooting
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Reports and results you can share
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

Typical surveys in Tooting
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
These come up again and again:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
For rented homes close to Tooting station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

For businesses and landlords in Tooting
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.

Questions from Tooting
Is asbestos common in Tooting homes?
Any home in Tooting 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.
Can you work in Tooting with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
How it works
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 start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
