Asbestos survey near Hayes
Asbestos survey near Hayes
If you are buying a home or building in Hayes from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. Typical materials include water tanks, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels, and people normally contact us about rented homes between tenancies and purchases of older homes and buildings.
In towns and villages like Hayes, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
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.
Options to consider in Hayes
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Reports and results you can share

Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
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 else we do in Hayes
Hayes: your questions answered
Do you work in Hayes despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you survey a school or hall near Hayes?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Hayes?
Yes. We cover Hayes and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Keeping things safe:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How big the building is
- What the material is and its state
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Damaged areas
- How we’d reach it
- Labels, if any
- Approximate dimensions
To get a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
