Asbestos survey in Hadley
What you are planning in Hadley decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will recommend the right one. Common materials are floor tiles, soffits and boiler cupboard panels, and people normally contact us about community buildings and halls and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
In areas like Hadley, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The survey scope
- How many outbuildings are included
- The survey type
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Hadley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hadley, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Hadley
Do you work in Hadley despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near New Barnet station?
Yes. New Barnet station is about 1.3 miles south-east of Hadley, and we cover both.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
