Asbestos survey in Maze Hill
Asbestos survey for Maze Hill properties
Any building in Maze Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From pre-work surveys for trades and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we cover floor tiles, flues and water tanks and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Maze Hill, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Maze Hill, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
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.

How we work
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Keeping things safe:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

FAQs for Maze Hill
Do you work near Maze Hill station?
Yes. Maze Hill station is close to the centre of Maze Hill, and we cover the whole area.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Maze Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
