From Victorian terraces in Brockley and Forest Hill to commercial units around Lewisham town centre and Deptford, 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 Lewisham. 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 Lewisham 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 Lewisham 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.
Lewisham's Victorian terraces and villas across Brockley, Forest Hill, Ladywell and Hither Green make up much of the borough's housing. Their asbestos risk comes almost entirely from later work: textured ceiling coatings, asbestos cement flues serving replacement boilers, bitumen-backed floor tiles, and cement sheet roofing on rear extensions, garages and garden outbuildings.
Between the wars the London County Council built the large Downham and Bellingham cottage estates, and after severe wartime bombing the borough was rebuilt again on a substantial scale. Post-war and 1960s–70s housing across Catford, Deptford and New Cross — including the borough's surviving post-war prefabricated homes — dates from the years when asbestos was routine in panels, linings, soffits and insulation.
Deptford's riverside industrial heritage adds another layer. Former workshops, yards and warehouses, many now converted to studios and flats, commonly retain corrugated asbestos cement roofs, pipe insulation and sprayed structural coatings. With regeneration continuing around Lewisham town centre and Deptford, refurbishment and demolition surveys are needed on projects across the borough.

Check Availability in Your AreaIf you own, manage or are responsible for a non-domestic building in Lewisham 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 Lewisham terrace or semi is highly affordable, while larger commercial premises around Lewisham town centre and Deptford 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.
