Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Why people call us in Walliswood
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
For businesses and landlords in Walliswood
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Walliswood
Could my house in Walliswood contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Walliswood may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Walliswood and the area around Ockley station?
Yes. Ockley station is about 3.1 miles north-east of Walliswood, and we cover both.
Do you cover Walliswood?
We do: our area includes Walliswood and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
After the job
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Staying safe afterwards:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
Ask for a quote
