Asbestos survey across WC2H
Before you buy, build or let in WC2H, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. People often contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and demolition projects, involving floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and soffits.
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Your options compared
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding.

Questions from WC2H
Do you work in WC2H?
Yes, WC2H is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
