How asbestos survey works in SE11
Managing agents and landlords in SE11 use surveys so trades know what to avoid, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. Typical materials include boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and water tanks, and people usually contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.

Options to consider in SE11
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted.
Before you book anyone
- What the report or result will contain
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens next
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
SE11: your questions answered
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
