Common reasons for surveys in Bedford Park
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look.
In older properties, we often see:
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
If you let flats or houses near South Acton station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- What the report or result will contain
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- How many samples are included
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Duty holders and landlords in Bedford Park
If you manage or own a block in Bedford Park, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bedford Park

Before you book, note that:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen

After we’ve finished in Bedford Park
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
