Asbestos survey near North Wembley
Asbestos survey near North Wembley
Buying an older property in North Wembley? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. Common materials are pipe lagging, textured ceilings and water tanks, and people typically contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
Before work on a flat or house in North Wembley, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Duty holders and landlords in North Wembley
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The scope of an asbestos survey
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
Options to consider in North Wembley
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Every main survey type
- Clear next steps
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Covering London and the South East
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.

North Wembley: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around North Wembley?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work in North Wembley despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.

- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts

Typical surveys in North Wembley
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Public and community buildings
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
