Your questions about an asbestos survey in Kingsland

Do older homes in Kingsland have asbestos?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Kingsland may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover Kingsland and the area around Dalston Junction station?

Yes, we cover Kingsland, including the streets around Dalston Junction station.

How do I get a quote?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

When can you start?

It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.

What if my house is newer?

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

About our asbestos survey in Kingsland

The type of survey you need in Kingsland depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. People often contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and shops, offices and industrial units, including flues, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.

London buildings in areas like Kingsland have usually been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

What’s included, and what isn’t

Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:

The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work

Your options compared

A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

A closer look at the materials

Asbestos cement

Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

Textured coatings

We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.

After the job

Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.

Some practical advice:

Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Survey first, then book the trades
Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings

Don’ts

Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
