Common reasons for surveys in Gillette Corner
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
In older properties, we often see:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
If you manage lettings around Syon Lane station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What your quote should include
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Whether VAT is included
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
Asbestos survey in Gillette Corner
About to refurbish in Gillette Corner? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. People often contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and schools, halls and community buildings, including floor tiles, garage roofs and flues.
For London properties like those in Gillette Corner, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
Common questions in Gillette Corner
Can you work in Gillette Corner with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Gillette Corner?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
- How many different materials need sampling
- Location, parking and any London charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The access route
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size

Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
