Asbestos survey near Greenhill

About to refurbish in Greenhill? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Whether it’s contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with flues, textured ceilings and garage roofs and more.

London buildings in areas like Greenhill have normally been altered many times, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Where asbestos turns up

Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.

In older properties, we often see:

Pre-work surveys for trades
Schools, halls and community buildings
Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Shops, offices and industrial units

Non-domestic buildings, The Royal School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Questions to ask before booking

The scope, in writing
What you’ll receive in writing
How many samples are included
That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Limits to be aware of

Worth knowing before booking:

Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Materials we see

Soffits and porch canopies
Artex and textured coatings
Boiler cupboards and panels
Cement sheets and cladding
Floor tiles and adhesive
Roofing felt and bitumen
Pipe lagging
Garage and shed roofs
Ceiling tiles
Water tanks and flues

What it might be made of

Textured coatings

Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.

Insulating board

It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.

Step by step

In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.

We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.

Can you survey a school or hall near Greenhill?

Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes. Send us the details of the premises.

Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
