What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging

Asbestos survey in Mapesbury
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Mapesbury. Whether it’s the communal parts of blocks of flats and community buildings and halls, we cover boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and soffits.
London buildings in areas like Mapesbury have usually been altered many times, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Mapesbury questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Mapesbury?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Mapesbury and the area around Wembley Stadium station?
Yes. Wembley Stadium station is close to the centre of Mapesbury, and we cover the whole area.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings typically starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

For businesses and landlords in Mapesbury
For managing agents and freeholders in Mapesbury, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Which option is right?
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
