What we deal with in Monken Hadley
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Community buildings and halls
For a school like Monken Hadley CofE Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Which option is right?
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Each material’s condition recorded
- The right survey for your plans

Questions from Monken Hadley
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Monken Hadley?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work in Monken Hadley despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
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.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
After we have finished in Monken Hadley
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
