For businesses and landlords in Lower Morden
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If your business premises in Lower Morden were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Options to consider in Lower Morden
Testing before work generally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Looking after things afterwards
A positive result isn’t a reason to panic: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Clear access to the area
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Photos of the material help us plan
Things not to do
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t try to clean it up.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. Testing identifies them.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- How big the building is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of survey you need
- The type of material and its condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
Send us the address in Lower Morden, a description and some photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.

You will know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
