Costs, legal requirements and what happens if asbestos is found.
Basic asbestos survey prices start from £250. Final pricing depends on the survey type, property size, access, number of areas included and any sampling requirements. Send the property details for a scope-based quote and current availability.
Where planned work may disturb the fabric of a building that could contain asbestos, the relevant areas should be appropriately investigated before work begins. For buildings constructed or refurbished before 2000, the survey scope should reflect the project and the applicable legal responsibilities.
A management survey helps locate and assess asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during normal occupation and routine maintenance. It may involve minor intrusive work and sampling. A refurbishment or demolition survey uses destructive inspection to identify concealed materials in the areas affected by planned works. The survey area must be vacated during this work and confirmed fit for reoccupation afterwards. Its scope must match the project, and any inaccessible areas or limitations must be addressed before those areas are disturbed.
Survey duration varies with property size, complexity, access, survey type and the level of intrusion required. Reporting times are confirmed when you book and may also depend on laboratory analysis.
The report records findings and recommended next steps within the agreed survey scope. What happens next depends on the material, its condition, location and likelihood of disturbance. Ask whether an asbestos register, priority assessment or management plan is included in your quotation. If work could disturb the material, obtain competent advice before proceeding.
Samples can be sent for independent laboratory analysis when required. Our surveyors provide professional asbestos survey support across London.
