Asbestos in Richmond
Richmond upon Thames is an affluent riverside district of Georgian and Victorian villas, mansion flats and interwar housing around the park, Kew and Ham. Its period properties, mansion blocks and mid-century conversions commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board, lagging and vinyl floor tiles, with frequent refurbishments raising the risk of disturbing them.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Richmond 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 Richmond: FAQs
Do I need a survey before converting a Richmond period home?
Yes — Richmond's Victorian and Georgian houses have usually been altered repeatedly, so artex, AIB and old floor tiles are common. A refurbishment and demolition survey before strip-out is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations.
Can you remove asbestos from a Richmond mansion flat?
Higher-risk materials such as lagging must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor, while lower-risk cement and textured coatings can be handled under controlled non-licensed work. We arrange the right approach across Richmond and the TW postcodes.
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.
