Asbestos Surveys in Croydon
If you need an asbestos survey in Croydon — to manage a building, satisfy a lender, or clear the way for refurbishment — our P402-qualified surveyors cover the whole of Greater London.
Asbestos in Croydon
Croydon pairs a high-rise post-war commercial core — the office towers thrown up in the 1960s when it became 'mini-Manhattan' — with vast interwar suburbs and outer estates like New Addington. Those mid-century office blocks and council towers used sprayed coatings to steel frames and asbestos insulating board to risers, while the surrounding semis and terraces hide artex, floor tiles and asbestos cement garages.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Croydon properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Surveys in Croydon: FAQs
Do Croydon's office blocks need an asbestos survey before refurbishment?
Almost always — Croydon's 1960s-70s commercial towers commonly contain sprayed coatings, AIB and lagging, so a refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations before any strip-out begins. We survey across the borough and the wider CR postcodes.
How much is an asbestos survey for a Croydon semi?
A management survey for a typical interwar Croydon semi starts from around £200, including sampling of suspect artex, floor tiles and garage roofs with a UKAS-accredited written register. We confirm the price before attending.
Which asbestos survey do I actually need?
If the building is staying as-is, a management survey satisfies your legal duty to manage. If you are refurbishing or demolishing any part of it, the law requires the more intrusive refurbishment & demolition survey before work begins. We will confirm the right one free of charge.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A domestic management survey is often done in a single morning. Larger commercial premises or intrusive refurbishment surveys take longer, but we return UKAS-analysed results and the full report typically within 48 hours of the site visit.
