Asbestos survey for North Street properties
About to refurbish in North Street? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Common materials are soffits, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are shops, offices and industrial units and demolition and strip-out.
Rural homes near North Street have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in North Street
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging

- Cement sheets and cladding
Your questions about an asbestos survey in North Street
Do you cover North Street from London?
North Street is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you survey a school or hall near North Street?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Which asbestos survey do I need in North Street?
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’re planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Some practical advice:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
For businesses and landlords in North Street
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
