Asbestos survey for Mill Hill properties
If a building in Mill Hill dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Whether it’s shops, offices and industrial units and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we cover textured ceilings, flues and floor tiles.
London buildings in areas like Mill Hill have normally been altered many times, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.

Questions from Mill Hill
Can you work in Mill Hill with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can you survey a school or hall near Mill Hill?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Mill Hill?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Your options compared
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

For businesses and landlords in Mill Hill
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you run a business from older premises in Mill Hill, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
After we have finished in Mill Hill
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
How we work
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- 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
Before we arrive
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear the way to the work area
