Asbestos survey in Holland Park
About our asbestos survey in Holland Park
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Holland Park. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical materials include flues, soffits and textured ceilings, and people typically contact us about demolition and strip-out and surveys requested by builders before work.
Before work on a flat or house in Holland Park, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
What we deal with in Holland Park
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
These are some of the things we deal with in Holland Park:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition projects
Schools such as Holland Park School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
Options to consider in Holland Park
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Clear advice on your options
- Across London and the South East
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
For businesses and landlords in Holland Park
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Holland Park, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
How it works
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park

What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much sampling is needed
- Access to the area
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The size and age of the building
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
- Cracks or breaks
- Street parking nearby
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
What happens next
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Some practical advice:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Questions from Holland Park
Could my house in Holland Park contain asbestos?
Any home in Holland Park built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Holland Park and the area around Kensington Olympia station?
Yes, we cover Holland Park and the area towards Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles south-west.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
