Asbestos survey near Kenton
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Kenton. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. We often deal with flues, textured ceilings and garage roofs, and people typically contact us about demolition and strip-out and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
For London properties like those in Kenton, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Practical recommendations
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Houses, flats and business premises

What we deal with in Kenton
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Greater London can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
These come up again and again:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Rented homes between tenancies
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition and strip-out
If you’re a landlord near Kenton station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

What affects the price in Kenton

What happens
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and access
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Kenton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Some practical advice:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Kenton
Do you cover Kenton and the area around Kenton station?
Yes. Kenton station is about 0.5 miles south-west of Kenton, and we cover both.
Could my house in Kenton contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Kenton?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
