How asbestos survey works in Ickenham
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. Typical materials include water tanks, flues and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and common parts of flats and HMOs.
London buildings in areas like Ickenham have normally been altered many times, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Where asbestos turns up
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Community buildings and halls
Altering an older house in Ickenham, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
What your quote should include
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether extra samples cost more
- The report contents
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The size and age of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Damaged areas
- A rough size or measurement
- A photo of the whole area
- A close-up from a safe distance
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.

How we work
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After we’ve finished:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Common questions in Ickenham
Can you work in Ickenham with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you work near West Ruislip station?
Yes, we cover Ickenham and the area towards West Ruislip station, about 0.9 miles north-east.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Ickenham?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
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.
For businesses and landlords in Ickenham
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ickenham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
