Asbestos survey near Cranford
About our asbestos survey in Cranford
Planning building work in Cranford? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical materials include floor tiles, textured ceilings and garage roofs, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and workplaces built before 2000.
London buildings in areas like Cranford have usually been altered many times, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What affects the price in Cranford
Prices vary with:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Cracks or breaks
- An overall view
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Not sure what you need? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Weighing up your options
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Every main survey type
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Condition ratings, not just a list

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Cranford
Do you cover Cranford and the area around Hayes & Harlington station?
Yes, we cover Cranford and the area towards Hayes & Harlington station, about 1.9 miles north.
Do older homes in Cranford have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings generally starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Cranford?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Cranford must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Looking after things afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Some practical advice:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
