Brackenbury Village: your questions answered
Could my house in Brackenbury Village contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Brackenbury Village may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Brackenbury Village despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Brackenbury Village?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Weighing up your options
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What you get
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you manage or own a block in Brackenbury Village, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Where asbestos turns up
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
Schools such as Brackenbury Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
