About our asbestos survey in Haverstock
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Haverstock, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and textured ceilings, and people usually contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and schools, halls and community buildings.
Properties in areas like Haverstock have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Which option is right?
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. Our guide explains which you need. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What we deal with in Haverstock
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
In older properties, we often see:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Community buildings and halls
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Workplaces built before 2000
A school such as Fine Arts College counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is usually where that starts.

What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
A few practical points:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
For businesses and landlords in Haverstock
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
