Asbestos survey in Adelphi
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Asbestos survey in Adelphi
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with, in plain English. We often deal with soffits, textured ceilings and garage roofs, and typical jobs are planned refurbishment work and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
For London properties like those in Adelphi, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Adelphi: your questions answered
Do older homes in Adelphi have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Adelphi?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you cover Adelphi?
Yes, we do: Adelphi is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in Adelphi were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The type of material and its condition
- The quantity or area
- Which survey type fits your plans
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Labels, if any
- The access route
- A clear close-up
- Damaged areas
Each job is priced individually. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
After the job
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
To avoid problems in future:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before booking builders
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
