Asbestos survey near Enfield Highway
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. People often contact us about pre-purchase checks on older properties and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, including textured ceilings, flues and soffits.
For London properties like those in Enfield Highway, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

What happens next
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Keeping things safe:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Recommendations in plain English
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
See how we quote or the cost guide.
What we do and don’t cover
Before booking, note that:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
What happens
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. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Let us know where we can park
- Let us know if something’s broken

What we deal with in Enfield Highway
The danger typically comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition and strip-out
- Community buildings and halls
A school such as Enfield Heights Academy counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
What your quote should include
- Areas included and excluded
- The report contents
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- The scope of the job, in writing
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Enfield Highway
Can you work in Enfield Highway with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Enfield Highway and the area around Brimsdown station?
Yes, we cover Enfield Highway and the area towards Brimsdown station, about 0.6 miles south-east.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Do you work in Enfield Highway?
Yes, Enfield Highway is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Will the survey damage the property?
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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats generally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
