Asbestos survey near Cricklewood
Plenty of older buildings, in Cricklewood as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you are in. From planned refurbishment work and checks on rental property, we deal with floor tiles, textured ceilings and soffits.
Properties in places like Cricklewood have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Cricklewood is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We work right across the region, from Cricklewood to London (about 7 miles away).

The scope of an asbestos survey
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding

Typical surveys in Cricklewood
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes between tenancies
Planning work on an older building in Cricklewood, whether near St Gabriel's Church or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Duty holders and landlords in Cricklewood
If you run a business from older premises in Cricklewood, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After we’ve finished in Cricklewood
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.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
