Asbestos survey for Lissenden Gardens properties
Plenty of older buildings, in Lissenden Gardens as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. Typical materials include water tanks, pipe lagging and floor tiles, and typical jobs are schools, halls and community buildings and demolition and strip-out.
For London properties like those in Lissenden Gardens, the scope matters most: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Questions from Lissenden Gardens
Do older homes in Lissenden Gardens have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Lissenden Gardens and the area around Gospel Oak station?
Yes, we cover Lissenden Gardens, including the streets around Gospel Oak station.
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.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Labels, if any

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

What we deal with in Lissenden Gardens
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Buying a property built before 2000
Non-domestic buildings, Parliament Hill School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
