Asbestos survey in Twickenham
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t 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. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What happens
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

For businesses and landlords in Twickenham
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
After we’ve finished in Twickenham
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Keeping things safe:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Twickenham: your questions answered
Do you cover Twickenham and the area around Twickenham station?
Yes. Twickenham station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Twickenham, and we cover both.
Can you work in Twickenham 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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
