From 1930s semi-detached homes in Eltham and New Eltham to commercial units around Woolwich and the Greenwich Peninsula, we deliver the right survey for your property, your project and your legal duties.
The standard survey for the day-to-day management of any pre-2000 building in Greenwich. We locate and assess asbestos-containing materials during normal occupation, giving landlords, facilities managers and homeowners a clear asbestos register that satisfies Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Ideal for: landlords, schools, offices, shops, housing associations and residential purchases.
Legally required before any refurbishment, extension, loft conversion or demolition work. This fully intrusive survey identifies asbestos hidden within the building fabric — behind walls, under floors and above ceilings — so your Greenwich project can proceed safely and lawfully.
Ideal for: builders, developers, architects and homeowners planning structural works.
Suspect a specific material — textured ceiling coatings, floor tiles, cement sheeting, pipe lagging? Our commercial asbestos sampling service in Greenwich collects the material safely and delivers a definitive UKAS-accredited laboratory result, fast. One sample or fifty, the process is quick and discreet.
Ideal for: quick answers before DIY, maintenance works or property transactions.
Greenwich carries one of London's heaviest industrial legacies. The Royal Arsenal at Woolwich was for centuries among the largest manufacturing sites in Europe, and together with the riverside works of Charlton, the Greenwich Peninsula's gasworks and the Thames-side wharves, it left a landscape of 20th-century industrial buildings rich in asbestos — corrugated cement roofing, sprayed coatings, pipe lagging and insulating board. The Arsenal's conversion to housing and the Peninsula's continuing build-out make demolition and refurbishment surveys a constant legal requirement.
The borough's housing spans every era. Georgian and Victorian Greenwich and Blackheath carry conversion-era asbestos from a century of subdivision and modernisation; the Progress Estate and interwar Eltham represent the 1920s–30s boom with its standard cement garage roofs, soffits and water tanks; and the post-war estates of Kidbrooke, Abbey Wood and Plumstead were built at peak asbestos specification, with panel systems, riser linings and boiler-house lagging throughout.
With Kidbrooke Village replacing the former Ferrier Estate, Woolwich town centre regenerating around the Elizabeth line, and Abbey Wood's corridor developing fast, Greenwich has one of south-east London's busiest pipelines of estate renewal and conversion work — every pre-2000 building in it requiring an intrusive survey before works, alongside steady landlord demand across the borough's large rental market.

Check Availability in Your AreaIf you own, manage or are responsible for a non-domestic building in Greenwich built before 2000, Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 places a legal duty on you to manage asbestos — and a management survey is the recognised way to meet it. For homeowners, a survey is strongly recommended before buying or refurbishing pre-2000 housing stock, and a refurbishment/demolition survey is legally required before any work that disturbs the fabric of the building.
Pricing depends on the size, age and complexity of the property and the survey type required. A management survey of a typical Greenwich terrace or semi is highly affordable, while larger commercial premises around Woolwich and the Greenwich Peninsula are quoted on floor area and sample count. Call 07707 999369 or email info@asbestoslondonsurvey.co.uk for a fixed, no-obligation quote — most are provided the same day.
