Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bell Green
Do you work in Bell Green despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Bell Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

What else we do in Bell Green
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
