Asbestos survey across TW12
About to refurbish in TW12? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical materials include flues, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are demolition and strip-out and checks on rental property.
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards.

- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear

Surveying buildings in TW12
Across TW12, we survey houses, flats, workplaces and buildings before demolition, in Teddington, Hampton and Hanworth and in the 0 smaller villages and hamlets.
Hampton: If you have an older property in Hampton, near All Saints' Hampton or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. For a school like Hampton Infant School and Nursery, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Where asbestos turns up
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
In older properties, we often see:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Public and community buildings
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Which option is right?
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end.

FAQs for TW12
Do you survey commercial buildings in TW12?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
