How asbestos survey works in SM6
The type of survey you need in SM6 depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. Typical materials include floor tiles, soffits and textured ceilings, and people typically contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and schools, halls and community buildings.
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next

How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The type of survey you need
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Street parking nearby
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What happens next
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Your options compared
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The number of samples
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
What we deal with in SM6
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
These are some of the things we deal with in SM6:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Surveys requested by builders before work
FAQs for SM6
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
