Questions from Hillesden
Do you cover Hillesden from London?
We cover Hillesden, about 50 miles from central London.
Could my house in Hillesden contain asbestos?
If your home in Hillesden was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

What we deal with in Hillesden
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
These are some of the things we deal with in Hillesden:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition projects
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Rented homes between tenancies
Altering an older house in Hillesden, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
DIY and asbestos
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
