Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs

Asbestos survey for Waddon properties
Not every older building in Waddon contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. Typical jobs include pre-work surveys for trades and checks on rental property, involving water tanks, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In a London neighbourhood like Waddon, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Waddon
Do you work in Waddon despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you survey a school or hall near Waddon?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not generally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Typical surveys in Waddon
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Schools such as Aerodrome Primary Academy are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Before you book anyone
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- What you will receive in writing
- Whether VAT is included
- Which areas and materials are covered
Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

After the job
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
