Asbestos survey near Brondesbury
Asbestos survey near Brondesbury
If a building in Brondesbury dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Whether it’s public and community buildings and demolition and strip-out, we deal with textured ceilings, flues and floor tiles.
London buildings in areas like Brondesbury have normally been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- 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
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let us know where we can park

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Brondesbury
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Brondesbury must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Brondesbury questions
Can you work in Brondesbury with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Could my house in Brondesbury contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you cover Brondesbury?
Yes, we do: our area includes Brondesbury and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
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.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Weighing up your options
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
