Common questions in Brentford
Do you cover Brentford and the area around Brentford station?
Yes, we cover Brentford, including the streets around Brentford station.
Can you survey a school or hall near Brentford?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is a survey needed before building work in Brentford?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.

Typical surveys in Brentford

- Public and community buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shops, offices and industrial units
If you have an older property in Brentford, near Congregational Church or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- 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 will not do before building work

What it costs
