Asbestos survey near Meadvale
Asbestos survey for Meadvale properties
If a building in Meadvale dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Whether it’s purchases of older homes and buildings and common parts of flats and HMOs, we deal with flues, textured ceilings and floor tiles and more.
In Meadvale, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Meadvale must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
To avoid problems in future:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

Questions from Meadvale
How far is Meadvale from London?
We cover Meadvale, about 19 miles from central London.
Can you survey a school or hall near Meadvale?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
The process
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
