Properties We Survey Across London

Our asbestos management survey service is suitable for a range of properties where asbestos information is required for ongoing management.

HMO Fire Risk Assessment

Commercial Properties

Offices, shops, business premises and other commercial buildings can require clear asbestos information for owners, occupiers and maintenance teams. Depending on the property type, other compliance requirements may also apply, including a Fire Risk Assessment for relevant premises.

Landlord and Managed Properties

Landlords and property managers may require asbestos information to understand the condition and location of materials within buildings they manage.

Residential Fire Risk Assessment

Industrial and Warehouse Buildings

Older industrial properties and warehouses may contain asbestos in a range of building materials, making accurate identification important when maintenance is planned.

Schools and Public Buildings

Buildings used by larger numbers of people require appropriate asbestos management arrangements where asbestos may be present. HSE states that the duty to manage asbestos applies across a wide range of non-domestic and multi-occupancy premises, including offices, factories, shops, schools, hospitals and places of worship.

Request an Asbestos Management Survey

Need an asbestos management survey in London? Contact London Safety Checks with your property address, property type, approximate size, number of floors and the areas you need surveyed. If you have an existing asbestos report or register, you can also share those details with us. We’ll review the requirements, confirm the appropriate survey scope and provide a quotation.

When You Need an Asbestos test

An asbestos check in London may be appropriate when there is insufficient information about asbestos within a property or existing records are incomplete, outdated or no longer suitable for the building.

It can also become important when:

  • Taking responsibility for a commercial property
  • Managing an older building
  • Planning routine maintenance
  • Reviewing existing asbestos information
  • Updating property compliance records
  • Preparing information for contractors or maintenance teams

The HSE advises dutyholders to arrange an asbestos survey or review existing survey information as part of managing asbestos in relevant premises.

What Our Asbestos Survey Covers

Our asbestos management survey covers reasonably accessible areas of the property where asbestos-containing materials may be present. We assess the building’s construction, materials and accessible spaces to identify suspected ACMs and record their location and condition. This can include internal rooms, ceiling voids, lofts, basements, service areas, risers and other relevant building spaces.

The survey may also cover underfloor areas, service ducts, lift shafts, undercrofts, wall and ceiling panels, insulation, floor coverings, roofing materials, fascias and other building components where accessible. Where necessary, minor intrusive work may be carried out to investigate concealed materials. Any areas that cannot reasonably be accessed are clearly identified in the survey report and managed accordingly.

Our Asbestos Survey Process

From defining the survey scope to receiving your final report, we keep the process straightforward and focused on the information needed to manage asbestos within your property.

Property and Survey Scope

We review the available property information and establish the areas to be covered based on the building’s use, construction, accessibility and survey requirements.

On-Site Assessment

The surveyor examines reasonably accessible areas and building materials where asbestos may be present, including relevant rooms, voids, service areas and other accessible locations.

Identify and Assess Suspected ACMs

Potential asbestos-containing materials are identified and assessed for their location, extent and condition. This provides the information needed to understand what requires ongoing management.

Sampling Where Required

Where material identification cannot be established through existing information or other means, appropriate samples may be taken for analysis. Materials may also be presumed to contain asbestos where appropriate.

Record Survey Findings

Identified or presumed materials are documented with relevant information about their location and condition, including areas that could not reasonably be accessed during the survey.

Receive Your Asbestos Survey Report

The completed findings are compiled into a clear asbestos survey report containing the information needed to support your asbestos register, maintenance planning and ongoing management arrangements.

What You Receive After the Survey

The main value of an asbestos management survey is having usable information about the property rather than simply receiving a test result. Depending on the survey findings, your report provides information on:

  • Where asbestos-containing or suspected materials are located
  • Which materials require management
  • Their observed condition
  • Sampling results where samples have been taken
  • Relevant actions or recommendations
  • Information that can support your asbestos register and management arrangements

This information can then be used by the responsible person when planning maintenance and controlling the risk of disturbing asbestos-containing materials.

Asbestos Survey Cost in London

The cost of an asbestos survey in London typically starts from around £200–£250 + VAT for a small, straightforward management survey, while larger commercial properties can cost £450–£950+, depending on their size, layout and survey requirements. Current London pricing varies significantly between simple properties and more complex commercial buildings.

The final price depends on the property size, number of areas, accessibility, building layout and whether sampling or additional analysis is required.
