Asbestos survey near Enfield Chase
Asbestos survey for Enfield Chase properties
Any building in Enfield Chase built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and soffits, and people normally contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and public and community buildings.
For London properties like those in Enfield Chase, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Enfield Chase: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Enfield Chase?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near Enfield Chase station?
Yes. Enfield Chase station is close to the centre of Enfield Chase, and we cover the whole area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is a survey needed before building work in Enfield Chase?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Typical surveys in Enfield Chase
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Community buildings and halls
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Leisure centres, halls and other public buildings around Enfield Chase are non-domestic premises, where the duty to manage asbestos applies.
What to look for in a quote
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
- The scope of the job, in writing
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually bound in the bitumen.

Which option is right?
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Looking after things 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.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What we do and do not cover
Before you book, note that:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
