Asbestos survey near Brentham Garden Suburb
Asbestos survey for Brentham Garden Suburb properties
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Brentham Garden Suburb, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is typically the starting point. Typical jobs include the communal parts of blocks of flats and workplaces built before 2000, including pipe lagging, textured ceilings and garage roofs.
Before work on a flat or house in Brentham Garden Suburb, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Duty holders and landlords in Brentham Garden Suburb
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Brentham Garden Suburb: your questions answered
Do you cover Brentham Garden Suburb and the area around Ealing Broadway station?
Yes, we cover Brentham Garden Suburb and the area towards Ealing Broadway station, about 0.9 miles south.
Do older homes in Brentham Garden Suburb have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Brentham Garden Suburb may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Brentham Garden Suburb?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Do you work in Brentham Garden Suburb?
Yes, we do: Brentham Garden Suburb is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The survey type
- How many different materials need sampling
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much there is
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A picture of the whole area
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any
Every job is quoted in writing. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How we work
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
