Asbestos survey near Kingsbury
Plenty of older buildings, in Kingsbury as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Common materials are pipe lagging, water tanks and garage roofs, and people normally contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and purchases of older homes and buildings.
Before work on a flat or house in Kingsbury, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Kingsbury: your questions answered
Do you work in Kingsbury despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Kingsbury and the area around Hendon station?
Yes. Hendon station is about 1.5 miles east of Kingsbury, and we cover both.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Typical surveys in Kingsbury
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition and strip-out
- Schools, halls and community buildings
If you’re a landlord near Hendon station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Before you book anyone
- Areas included and excluded
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- What you’ll receive in writing
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging

- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen

The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Let us know where we can park
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Which option is right?
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
