Asbestos survey near Fortune Green
Any building in Fortune Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical materials include pipe lagging, soffits and flues, and people usually contact us about rented homes between tenancies and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises.
Before work on a flat or house in Fortune Green, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Yes. West Hampstead Thameslink station is about 0.5 miles south of Fortune Green, and we cover both.
Can you survey a school or hall near Fortune Green?

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
