What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Things not to do
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Choosing the right option
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Common questions in Wimbledon Chase
Can you work in Wimbledon Chase with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Wimbledon Chase contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wimbledon Chase may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

- Demolition projects
- Planned refurbishment work

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
