How asbestos survey works in Holloway
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. People often contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and rented homes due for maintenance, involving water tanks, pipe lagging and textured ceilings.
In a village like Holloway, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What else we do in Holloway
The scope of an asbestos survey
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

- Water tanks and flues

FAQs for Holloway
Do you cover Holloway and the area around Furze Platt station?
Yes, we cover Holloway and the area towards Furze Platt station, about 2.7 miles north-east.
Could my house in Holloway contain asbestos?
Any home in Holloway 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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Staying safe afterwards:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Clear advice on your options
- Recommendations in plain English
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
