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 Testing & Air Monitoring 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.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
