Choose the survey around the work

A management survey supports normal occupation and routine maintenance. If refurbishment or demolition will disturb the building fabric, the investigation needs to cover the exact areas that will be opened, removed or altered.

Management survey

For occupied and managed buildings, including communal areas, commercial premises and workplaces.

Refurbishment survey

For kitchens, bathrooms, services, ceilings, floors, structural changes and other intrusive works.

Refurbishment surveys →

Lambeth property context

Lambeth includes Brixton, Clapham, Streatham, Vauxhall, Kennington, West Norwood and surrounding neighbourhoods. The borough contains Victorian and Edwardian terraces, converted houses, post-war estates, purpose-built flats, schools and commercial premises.

Property age and appearance can help inform survey planning but cannot confirm whether asbestos is present. Buildings constructed or refurbished before 2000 merit particular consideration, especially where later extensions, loft conversions, service alterations or internal remodelling have changed the original fabric.

Useful details for your enquiry

  • Full address and postcode
  • Building use and approximate age
  • Whether communal areas or individual flats are included
  • Plans or descriptions of proposed works
  • Any previous asbestos reports or registers

Some neighbourhood names cross borough boundaries. The full property address is used to confirm coverage and survey scope.

Converted buildings and shared areas

In a converted house or block, make clear whether the survey includes only one flat or also shared stairs, basements, roof spaces, service cupboards and other communal areas. An older report should be checked against the exact scope of any new refurbishment.

For one suspect material, professional sampling and laboratory analysis may be suitable. Do not disturb a material simply to obtain a sample for a quote.

Common Lambeth survey questions

Does an older Lambeth property automatically contain asbestos?

No. Age can indicate when asbestos-containing materials were more commonly used, but only suitable investigation and analysis can confirm a particular material.

Can an old management survey cover a new refurbishment?

Not necessarily. Compare the report scope and limitations with the exact areas that will be disturbed. Concealed materials may not have been included in a management survey.

What should I send for a quote?

Send the full address, building use, planned works, approximate size and any previous asbestos information. This helps define the survey scope before booking.
