The usual limits are:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

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.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Why people call us in Burnt Oak
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Leisure centres, halls and other public buildings around Burnt Oak are non-domestic premises, so their owners must manage any asbestos.
What to look for in a quote
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What the report or result will contain
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
Burnt Oak questions
Do older homes in Burnt Oak have asbestos?
If your home in Burnt Oak was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes. Mill Hill Broadway station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Burnt Oak, and we cover both.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

What else we do in Burnt Oak
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
