Asbestos survey for Warlingham
Asbestos survey near Warlingham
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. People often contact us about shops, offices and industrial units and pre-work surveys for trades, involving water tanks, garage roofs and textured ceilings.
In a smaller place like Warlingham, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Typical surveys in Warlingham
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, 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.
In older properties, we often see:
- Checks on rental property
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition and strip-out
Got an older property in Warlingham, close to Church of All Saints or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Survey methods in line with HSG264

After we have finished in Warlingham
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Choosing the right option
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Domestic and commercial work
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Across London and the South East

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.

Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Warlingham: your questions answered
Do you cover Warlingham and the area around Upper Warlingham station?
Yes. Upper Warlingham station is about 0.9 miles west of Warlingham, and we cover both.
Can you survey a school or hall near Warlingham?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- A management survey doesn’t 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
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
What affects the price in Warlingham
Prices vary with:
- The building’s size and layout
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many different materials need sampling
- The survey scope
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- The access route
- Damaged areas
- An idea of size
- An overall view
