What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Asbestos survey in Crown Wood
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, whichever fits your plans in Crown Wood. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. From contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we cover soffits, garage roofs and floor tiles.
A survey in Crown Wood typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Common reasons for surveys in Crown Wood
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Public and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
If you have an older property in Crown Wood, near St Paul or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
Questions to ask before you book
- The report contents
- The scope of the job, in writing
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Crown Wood
Do you cover Crown Wood and the area around Martins Heron station?
Yes, we cover Crown Wood and the area towards Martins Heron station, about 0.8 miles north-east.
Do you cover Crown Wood from London?
We cover Crown Wood, about 29 miles from central London.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Crown Wood?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The number of materials to sample
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size and age of the building
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Responsibilities for owners
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.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
