Asbestos survey for Wood's Corner properties
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Wood's Corner. Common materials are soffits, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are planned refurbishment work and public and community buildings.
Village houses like those in Wood's Corner have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What affects the price in Wood's Corner
What changes the cost:
- How big the building is

Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- An overall view
- Visible markings
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East
- Records for your files
- The right survey for your plans

Common questions in Wood's Corner
Do you cover small places like Wood's Corner?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Wood's Corner have asbestos?
Any home in Wood's Corner built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Wood's Corner?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Going forward:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Please do not 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 are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.

Helpful guides
Why people call us in Wood's Corner
The danger generally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
These are some of the things we deal with in Wood's Corner:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Non-domestic buildings, Dallington Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
