Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Common questions in Walham Green
Do you work near Imperial Wharf station?
Yes, we cover Walham Green, including the streets around Imperial Wharf station.
Is asbestos common in Walham Green homes?
Any home in Walham Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Staying safe afterwards:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before booking builders
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Walham Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Where asbestos turns up
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
Typical jobs in Walham Green include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition and strip-out
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
Schools such as Chelsea Independent College 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.

- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Options to consider in Walham Green
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. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
