Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
About our asbestos survey in Holloway Down
The type of survey you need in Holloway Down depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will recommend the right one. From the communal parts of blocks of flats and surveys requested by builders before work, we deal with textured ceilings, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels.
In places like Holloway Down, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Work done to the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Condition assessed for every material

Where asbestos turns up
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
For a school like The Jenny Hammond Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.

How we price an asbestos survey
We base our quote on:
- How many different materials need sampling
- Parking and access charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
- The access route
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
Holloway Down questions
Is asbestos common in Holloway Down homes?
Any home in Holloway Down 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 survey schools and community buildings around Holloway Down?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
