Our asbestos survey in EN9
Before you buy, build or let in EN9, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, involving soffits, water tanks and pipe lagging.
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point.

Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money.
Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The number of samples
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Common reasons for surveys in EN9
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That is why so many buildings in Greater London can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These come up again and again:
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Surveys requested by builders before work
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Survey first, then book the trades
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Common questions in EN9
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Is a survey needed before building work in EN9?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How can I get a price?
