Asbestos survey in Hyde Park Estate
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
Asbestos survey near Hyde Park Estate
Plenty of older buildings, in Hyde Park Estate as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. Typical materials include pipe lagging, floor tiles and flues, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and demolition and strip-out.
Before work on a flat or house in Hyde Park Estate, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Looking after things afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Accredited laboratory results
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Hyde Park Estate: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Hyde Park Estate homes?
Any home in Hyde Park Estate built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Hyde Park Estate?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
