Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
The process
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear the way to the work area

Related guides
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common questions in Hounslow West
Can you survey a school or hall near Hounslow West?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work in Hounslow West despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is a survey needed before building work in Hounslow West?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.

Duty holders and landlords in Hounslow West

If you manage or own a block in Hounslow West, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
