Asbestos survey near North End
Asbestos survey in North End
The type of survey you need in North End depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will recommend the right one. From rented homes due for maintenance and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we deal with garage roofs, textured ceilings and pipe lagging and more.
Before work on a flat or house in North End, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Why people call us in North End
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Greater London can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
If you manage lettings around Kensington Olympia station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
What to look for in a quote
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- What you’ll receive in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
- VAT, clearly stated
Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

North End questions
Can you work in North End with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do older homes in North End have asbestos?
Any home in North End built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work in North End?
Yes, North End is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
