London borough guide · Kingston upon Thames
Survey support for homes, flats, managed buildings, schools, shops, offices and refurbishment projects across Kingston upon Thames. The best starting point is a clear description of the property and the work you intend to carry out.
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.
Suitable survey planning for shared areas, workplaces and buildings that will remain in use.
Extensions, kitchen replacement, new services, structural openings and similar work may require intrusive investigation of the affected areas.
A more comprehensive survey is required where large parts of the building fabric will be removed or demolished.
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.

Neighbourhood boundaries can overlap. We use the full property address to confirm coverage and survey scope.
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.
Send the address, building use and planned works. We’ll discuss the appropriate survey enquiry and confirm availability before booking.
