- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it

Asbestos survey for World's End properties
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Whether it’s public and community buildings and purchases of older homes and buildings, we cover pipe lagging, flues and boiler cupboard panels and more.
For London properties like those in World's End, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Looking after things afterwards

Some practical advice:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
