Choose the survey around the work

A management survey is generally intended for normal occupation and routine maintenance. Where refurbishment or demolition will disturb building fabric, the investigation should cover the exact areas that will be opened, removed, drilled, stripped or altered.

Wandsworth property context

Wandsworth includes Battersea, Putney, Tooting, Balham, Earlsfield, Southfields and Roehampton. The borough contains Victorian and Edwardian terraces, converted houses, purpose-built blocks, post-war buildings, schools and commercial premises.

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

Frequently asked questions

Does an old management survey cover a new refurbishment?

Not automatically. A management survey may not include concealed materials inside walls, floors, ceilings or service voids that will be disturbed by new work. Compare the old report scope with the current project.

Can one survey cover a flat and communal areas?

Only if both are included in the agreed scope and accessible during the inspection. Make clear whether stairs, basements, roof spaces, service cupboards or other shared areas are required.

Can asbestos be confirmed from a photograph?

No. Photographs can help describe a material, but confirmation generally requires appropriate sampling and laboratory analysis.
