Asbestos help in Gordon Hill
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
Asbestos survey for Gordon Hill properties
Plenty of older buildings, in Gordon Hill as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Typical jobs include purchases of older homes and buildings and rented homes between tenancies, involving flues, boiler cupboard panels and soffits.
For London properties like those in Gordon Hill, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
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.
Why people call us in Gordon Hill
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
Schools such as St Michael's CofE Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.

Gordon Hill questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Gordon Hill?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Could my house in Gordon Hill contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
