Asbestos survey for Heathrow
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Heathrow were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
How asbestos survey works in Heathrow
Managing agents and landlords in Heathrow use surveys so trades know what to avoid. We often deal with soffits, pipe lagging and floor tiles, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and demolition and strip-out.
Village houses like those in Heathrow have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Questions from Heathrow
Do older homes in Heathrow have asbestos?
Any home in Heathrow built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Heathrow?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
The process
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
