Asbestos survey for Harrow Weald properties
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, whichever fits your plans in Harrow Weald. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. We often deal with garage roofs, textured ceilings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are surveys requested by builders before work and planned refurbishment work.
Properties in areas like Harrow Weald have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What affects the price in Harrow Weald
Prices vary with:
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size and age of the building
- What the material is and its state
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A photo of the whole area
- How we’d reach it
- Street parking nearby
- A rough size or measurement

Harrow Weald questions
Do you cover Harrow Weald and the area around Headstone Lane station?
Yes. Headstone Lane station is about 0.8 miles west of Harrow Weald, and we cover both.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Harrow Weald?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
