Choose the survey around the next step

A management survey is generally aimed at normal occupation and routine maintenance. If refurbishment or demolition is planned, the investigation needs to cover the parts of the building that will be opened, cut, removed or otherwise disturbed.

Normal occupation

Suitable survey planning for shared areas, workplaces and buildings that will remain in use.

Management surveys →

Home improvement and refurbishment

Extensions, kitchen replacement, new services, structural openings and similar work may require intrusive investigation of the affected areas.

Refurbishment surveys →

Major strip-out or demolition

A more comprehensive survey is required where large parts of the building fabric will be removed or demolished.

Demolition surveys →

Kingston property context

The borough includes Kingston, Surbiton, New Malden, Tolworth, Chessington and surrounding areas. Its building stock includes Victorian and inter-war housing, post-war homes, purpose-built blocks, schools, shops and commercial premises.

Building age and appearance can help inform survey planning, but they cannot confirm asbestos. Properties constructed or refurbished before 2000 merit particular consideration, especially where later extensions, loft conversions, garages or service alterations have changed the original construction.

Information that helps define the scope

  • Full property address and postcode
  • Approximate construction age and current use
  • Rooms, outbuildings or communal areas to be included
  • Plans for refurbishment or demolition
  • Earlier asbestos reports, if available

Renovating an older house or flat

If you are changing ceilings, floors, partitions, pipework, insulation, built-in finishes or structural elements, tell us exactly what will be disturbed. An older management survey may not have investigated concealed areas affected by a new refurbishment project.

Where one suspect material is the only concern, professional sampling and laboratory analysis may be appropriate. Do not disturb the material simply to provide a sample.
