Before booking, note that:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample 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. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Questions from Chalk Farm
Can you survey a school or hall near Chalk Farm?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work in Chalk Farm despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in Chalk Farm?
Yes, Chalk Farm is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
