Different property plans need different surveys

A management survey is intended to support normal occupation and ongoing management. Refurbishment and demolition surveys are more intrusive and should be designed around the exact areas that will be altered or removed.

Managing a property

For occupied buildings, identify the rooms, common areas, outbuildings and service spaces that need to be considered.

Management survey information

Renovating or extending

For structural changes, extensions, kitchen or bathroom refits and major strip-outs, explain exactly which parts of the building will be disturbed.

Refurbishment survey information

Testing a suspect material

If the issue concerns one or more specific materials, ask whether professional sampling and independent laboratory analysis is suitable.

Asbestos testing

Across Ealing’s varied housing and commercial areas

Ealing includes suburban houses, converted properties, purpose-built flats, shops, schools, offices and industrial or commercial premises. Different refurbishment histories can mean that materials vary from one part of a building to another.

For a useful quotation, provide the full address, property type, the areas to be included and the reason for the survey. If you already have an asbestos report, register, floor plan or contractor scope, include it with the enquiry.

Areas we cover by enquiry

Ealing, West Ealing, Acton, Southall, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale and nearby areas. Some locality names extend across administrative boundaries, so the full postcode is used to confirm coverage.

Useful details to send

  • Full property address and building use.
  • Rooms, floors or common areas to be surveyed.
  • Planned maintenance or refurbishment work.
  • Any access limitations or occupied areas.
  • Previous asbestos information if available.

Before refurbishment starts

If planned work may disturb the building fabric, check whether existing asbestos information covers the exact work area. An older report prepared for normal occupation should not automatically be relied upon for new intrusive works.

  • Identify the rooms, services and finishes affected by the project.
  • Review earlier reports for limitations and areas not accessed.
  • Provide plans or a contractor scope where available.
  • Confirm the appropriate survey type before work begins.

Ealing asbestos survey FAQs

Does an older Ealing house automatically contain asbestos?

No. Age can make asbestos-containing materials more plausible, but only appropriate investigation can determine whether a particular material contains asbestos.

Do I need a different survey before a kitchen extension?

If the work will disturb walls, ceilings, floors, service ducts or other building fabric, a refurbishment survey may be appropriate for the affected area.

Can a landlord use an old report?

An older report can be useful, but check that it covers the current property areas and purpose. Changes to the building or proposed works may require further investigation.

Can one flat be surveyed without the entire block?

Yes, if the scope is clearly limited to that flat. Communal areas or other flats are not automatically included unless specifically agreed.

What affects the report turnaround?

Survey scope, access, appointment availability and laboratory analysis can all affect timing. Confirm the expected timescale before booking.
