About our asbestos survey in Hanger Hill
Managing agents and landlords in Hanger Hill use surveys so trades know what to avoid. We often deal with textured ceilings, soffits and garage roofs, and typical jobs are surveys requested by builders before work and schools, halls and community buildings.
London buildings in areas like Hanger Hill have usually been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.

Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you are comparing like with like. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why us?
- Accredited laboratory results
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Every main survey type
- Each material’s condition recorded
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
