London borough guide · Sutton
Survey support for houses, flats, managed buildings, schools, shops and refurbishment projects across Sutton. The survey scope should reflect the age, use and planned alteration of the property.
Management surveys support normal occupation and maintenance. Refurbishment or demolition work requires an investigation focused on the areas that will be cut, opened, removed or otherwise disturbed.
For occupied and managed premises, including shared areas and workplaces.
For extensions, kitchens, bathrooms, services, ceilings, floors and other intrusive alterations.
For major strip-out or demolition where concealed materials need investigation before work begins.
The borough includes Sutton, Cheam, Carshalton, Wallington, Worcester Park and Belmont. It contains suburban housing, older terraces and semis, purpose-built flats, schools, retail premises and commercial buildings.
Building style and age can help with survey planning but cannot confirm whether asbestos is present. Properties constructed or refurbished before 2000 merit particular consideration, especially where garages, extensions, loft conversions or later service installations have altered the original structure.

The exact property address is used to confirm coverage and survey scope.
No. The required scope depends on what parts of the building will be disturbed. A small project may need a focused intrusive survey, while a major refurbishment can require broader investigation.
Use it as background, but compare the inspected areas and limitations with the new project. It may not cover concealed materials affected by current works.
List the rooms, outbuildings and shared areas that need to be included, and explain any planned renovation in practical terms. For example, replacing a kitchen, opening a ceiling, moving services or altering a wall gives much clearer scope than simply saying “refurbishment”.
If a garage, extension or loft conversion was added later than the main house, mention that too. Different construction dates within one property can matter when deciding where intrusive investigation may be appropriate.
Send the address, building use and planned works. We’ll discuss the appropriate survey enquiry and confirm availability before booking.
