Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
How asbestos survey works in Canons Park
Plenty of older buildings, in Canons Park as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours. From shops, offices and industrial units and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we deal with textured ceilings, floor tiles and garage roofs.
Properties in places like Canons Park have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Duty holders and landlords in Canons Park
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Access to the area
- How many different materials need sampling
- The survey scope
- How big the building is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Canons Park questions
Could my house in Canons Park 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.
Do you work in Canons Park despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats usually do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
