Asbestos survey for Hanworth properties
The type of survey you need in Hanworth depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. People often contact us about purchases of older homes and buildings and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging.
Homes in places like Hanworth range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hanworth must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
