Asbestos survey near Tulse Hill
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Tulse Hill
Do you cover Tulse Hill and the area around Tulse Hill station?
Yes. Tulse Hill station is close to the centre of Tulse Hill, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Tulse Hill have asbestos?
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
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.
Do you work in Tulse Hill?
Yes, Tulse Hill is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How asbestos survey works in Tulse Hill
Not every older building in Tulse Hill contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. Typical materials include soffits, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are shops, offices and industrial units and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
In a London neighbourhood like Tulse Hill, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Options to consider in Tulse Hill
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Clear next steps
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Houses, flats and business premises
Read our prices page and our cost guide.
Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- How much there is
- How much sampling is needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The size and age of the building
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Approximate dimensions
- Street parking nearby
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- How we’d reach it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Typical surveys in Tulse Hill
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition projects
- Buying a property built before 2000
If you’re a landlord near Tulse Hill station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The number of samples
- What you will receive in writing

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually bound in the bitumen.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
