Asbestos Survey, Sampling & Removal Gallery across London
Below is a visual record of our on-site work inside residential properties and light commercial premises across Greater London. These photographs show real management surveys, intrusive refurbishment inspections, bulk sample collection, and controlled non-licensed removals carried out by Asbestos in Homes, operated by BPS.
Domestic & R&D Surveys
From non-intrusive pre-purchase management inspections to opening up ceiling voids, riser ducts, and floor substrates ahead of structural kitchen extensions or rewiring works.
Controlled Bulk Sampling
Wetting down suspected textured Artex coatings, thermoplastic vinyl floor tiles, and insulating boards before extracting a cross-section sample, encapsulating the test point, and dispatching to an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory.
Non-Licensed Removals
Intact dismantling of corrugated cement garage roofs, rainwater downpipes, external soffit boards, and bitumen-backed floor tiles using Class H vacuum extraction and UN-approved double-bagging.
On-Site Photographs from Completed London Jobs
Every photograph below was taken by our surveyors and operatives on site. Reviewing these images can help homeowners, buyers, and refurbishment contractors recognise common asbestos-containing materials and see how our team works cleanly inside occupied and stripped-out properties.

Spotted a Similar Material in Your Property?
You cannot confirm whether a textured ceiling coating, old 9-inch vinyl tile, or cement garage roof contains asbestos by visual appearance alone. Even experienced surveyors rely on laboratory analysis under polarised light microscopy to confirm fibre type.
Whether you are exchanging contracts on a flat in the London Borough of Wandsworth or stripping out a 1930s semi-detached home in the London Borough of Bromley, we can attend promptly, seal the sample point cleanly, and provide clear, practical laboratory documentation.
