Asbestos survey across SW20
The type of survey you need in SW20 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 jobs include rented homes due for maintenance and shops, offices and industrial units, involving textured ceilings, floor tiles and garage roofs.
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase 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
What it costs in SW20

Asbestos surveys across SW20
SW20 covers everything from Wimbledon, Morden and New Malden to 1 small villages and hamlets, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. In towns we survey homes and businesses; in villages, outbuildings too.
Bushey Mead: A school such as Joseph Hood Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed. Planning work on an older building in Bushey Mead, whether near Dundonald Church or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many different materials need sampling
- The survey type
- Material and condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in SW20
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you cover SW20?
We do: our area includes SW20 and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
