How asbestos survey works in SE1
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in SE1. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. We often deal with soffits, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are surveys requested by builders before work and checks on rental property.
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, so you can keep people away.

- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph

- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Schools, halls and community buildings
The scope of an asbestos survey
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
How we price an asbestos survey
Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
- The type of survey you need
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in SE1
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
