How asbestos survey works in Hadley Wood
Managing agents and landlords in Hadley Wood use surveys so trades know what to avoid. Typical jobs include rented homes due for maintenance and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, including boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and flues.
London buildings in areas like Hadley Wood have typically been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

We’re upfront about what’s included:

- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the work area
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
