Asbestos survey near Enfield Island Village
How asbestos survey works in Enfield Island Village
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Enfield Island Village. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Whether it’s demolition and strip-out and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we deal with pipe lagging, soffits and garage roofs and more.
In towns and villages like Enfield Island Village, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The survey type
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How big the building is
- How many samples are needed
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Enfield Island Village questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Enfield Island Village?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do older homes in Enfield Island Village have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Enfield Island Village may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
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. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Options to consider in Enfield Island Village

What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Typical surveys in Enfield Island Village
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These are some of the things we deal with in Enfield Island Village:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Planning work on an older building in Enfield Island Village, whether near Ss Peter and Paul Church or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
What your quote should include
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- What you will receive in writing
- Whether VAT is included
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
