How asbestos survey works in Toy's Hill
Not every older building in Toy's Hill contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you are in, so you can plan sensibly. Whether it’s surveys requested by builders before work and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with pipe lagging, flues and textured ceilings.
For London properties like those in Toy's Hill, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After we’ve finished:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

FAQs for Toy's Hill
Do you work in Toy's Hill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can you survey a school or hall near Toy's Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
