Surveys for Asbestos is a trusted local team of asbestos surveyors. We carry out detailed inspections for every type of property in Richmond, from Georgian townhouses around Richmond Green and period homes on Richmond Hill to modern offices and retail premises in the town centre, making sure no hidden hazards are overlooked.

The UK-wide ban introduced in 1999 was intended to protect people from serious lung disease, yet asbestos remains a significant problem in older buildings today.

It is often hidden in everyday building materials such as Artex coatings, lagging around old heating pipes and corrugated roof sheets. As a result, it continues to pose an invisible risk across Richmond's older residential streets and commercial areas.

Frequently asked questions

Are period properties in Richmond likely to contain asbestos?

Georgian and Victorian buildings weren't built with asbestos, but many have been modernised, extended or converted into flats during the twentieth century, when asbestos was widely used. It is often found in later additions such as boiler cupboards, textured ceilings, floor tiles, garage roofs and pipe lagging. A survey or sampling is the only way to know for certain.

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating a property in a Richmond conservation area?

If the building was constructed or altered before 2000 and the work will disturb its fabric, complete a refurbishment and demolition survey before work starts, whether or not the property is in a conservation area. Much of Richmond is covered by conservation areas, so identifying asbestos early helps avoid delays once planning and building work are underway.

Which areas around Richmond do you cover, and how quickly can you attend?

We cover Richmond and the surrounding areas, including Kew, Ham, Petersham, East Sheen, St Margarets and Twickenham. As our surveyors work locally, we can often arrange appointments at short notice, with laboratory results and reports following promptly. Call 0800 024 6202 to check availability.
