Asbestos survey near Heath Park
Plenty of older buildings, in Heath Park as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours. Typical jobs include shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and schools, halls and community buildings, including boiler cupboard panels, flues and water tanks.
In areas like Heath Park, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

A closer look at the materials

Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
Step by step
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

What we deal with in Heath Park
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Altering an older house in Heath Park, wherever it is? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Questions to ask before you book
- The report contents
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The number of samples
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Some practical advice:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Heath Park questions
Do you cover Heath Park and the area around Gidea Park station?
Yes. Gidea Park station is about 0.5 miles north of Heath Park, and we cover both.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Heath Park?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
