Asbestos survey for Dancers Hill properties
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Dancers Hill. People often contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, involving textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and flues.
For London properties like those in Dancers Hill, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
How it works
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the work area
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Dancers Hill: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Dancers Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near Potters Bar station?
Yes. Potters Bar station is about 1.5 miles north-east of Dancers Hill, and we cover both.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Which option is right?
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
