How asbestos survey works in Edmonton
Managing agents and landlords in Edmonton use surveys so trades know what to avoid. Typical jobs include rented homes due for maintenance and workplaces built before 2000, including flues, pipe lagging and soffits.
London buildings in areas like Edmonton have normally been altered many times, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Edmonton buildings and asbestos surveys
Edmonton is about 9 miles north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Properties in Edmonton range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Edmonton to London (about 9 miles away).
If you let flats or houses near Edmonton Green station, a survey gives contractors the information they need. Public buildings around Edmonton, such as leisure centres and halls, are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
This part of Greater London takes in N9, N18, N13 and EN1. We can help with surveys on streets such as The Broadway, Plevna Road and Galahad Road. You’ll find Edmonton on the B137 and B154, which makes it simple to get to. For properties just outside Edmonton, we cover Upper Edmonton (1 mile south), Picketts Lock (1 mile east), Northumberland Park (1 mile south), Ponders End (1 mile north-east) and Bush Hill Park (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also work in London (9 miles south), City of Westminster (9 miles south-west), Marylebone (8 miles south-west), Kensington (10 miles south-west), St Pancras (7 miles south) and Shoreditch (7 miles south).
As a London location, Edmonton is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading need planning: tell us about parking, permits and access when you ask for a quote.

Places near Edmonton
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
What affects the price in Edmonton
Our quotes take into account:
- The survey scope
- The building’s size and layout
- What the material is and its state
- Which survey type fits your plans
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
For businesses and landlords in Edmonton
If you run a business from older premises in Edmonton, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Options to consider in Edmonton
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Condition assessed for every material
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Written quotes that say what’s included

How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Edmonton
Do you work in Edmonton 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.
Can you survey a school or hall near Edmonton?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Common reasons for surveys in Edmonton
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That is why so many buildings in Greater London can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Workplaces built before 2000
Planning work on an older building in Edmonton, whether near All Saints' Church or elsewhere? Survey the areas you are working on before work starts.
