Asbestos survey for Belsize Park properties
What you’re planning in Belsize Park decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will match the survey to the plan. Typical jobs include contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including textured ceilings, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
In places like Belsize Park, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Step by step
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Mention any damage before we arrive

What happens next
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After we have finished:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Public buildings around Belsize Park, such as leisure centres and halls, are non-domestic premises, so their owners must manage any asbestos. Schools such as Fine Arts College are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment

What we deal with in Belsize Park
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in Greater London can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition projects
For rented homes close to South Hampstead station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

Which option is right?
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
