Asbestos survey near Golders Green

Typical jobs include managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and schools, halls and community buildings, including flues, floor tiles and garage roofs.
In a London neighbourhood like Golders Green, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Options to consider in Golders Green
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Golders Green questions
Can you work in Golders Green with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Golders Green and the area around Cricklewood station?
Yes, we cover Golders Green and the area towards Cricklewood station, about 1.2 miles south-west.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The quantity or area
- The number of materials to sample
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many outbuildings are included
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- A close-up from a safe distance

Typical surveys in Golders Green
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
In older properties, we often see:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Checks on rental property
Halls and leisure centres near Golders Green fall into the non-domestic category, so their owners must manage any asbestos.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
