Asbestos survey in Kensal Green
How asbestos survey works in Kensal Green
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Kensal Green. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. People often contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, including boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
London buildings in areas like Kensal Green have generally been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Kensal Green
Can you work in Kensal Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Kensal Green contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats generally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.

Duty holders and landlords in Kensal Green
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Asbestos surveys in Kensal Green: local notes

We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 6 miles away.
A school such as Princess Frederica CofE Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts. If you are a landlord near Kensal Green station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
To avoid problems in future:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Why people call us in Kensal Green
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Got an older property in Kensal Green, close to St Martin or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
