Asbestos survey for Greenhill properties
Managing agents and landlords in Greenhill use surveys so trades know what to avoid. We often deal with flues, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks, and typical jobs are shops, offices and industrial units and common parts of flats and HMOs.
In a London neighbourhood like Greenhill, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Which option is right?
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Greenhill buildings and asbestos surveys
Greenhill is about 1 mile north-east of Harrow, in Greater London. Homes, landlords and businesses in Greenhill contact us for surveys about all kinds of jobs. Greenhill is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we work. We work right across the region, from Greenhill to London (about 12 miles away).
If you’re a landlord near Harrow-on-the-Hill station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs. Schools such as Saint Jerome Church of England Bilingual School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

We can help with surveys on streets such as Lyon Road, Hill Road and Byron Road or the roads around them, wherever it is in Greenhill.

For businesses and landlords in Greenhill
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What happens next
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Going forward:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
