Asbestos survey for Northumberland Park
Doing it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
About our asbestos survey in Northumberland Park
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Northumberland Park. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical jobs include demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and pre-purchase checks on older properties, including floor tiles, pipe lagging and textured ceilings.
London buildings in areas like Northumberland Park have typically been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Typical surveys in Northumberland Park
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
These come up again and again:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Community buildings and halls
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
Schools such as Lea Valley Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether extra samples cost more
- What the report or result will contain
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Which laboratory analyses samples
After we’ve finished in Northumberland Park
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Northumberland Park
Can you work in Northumberland Park with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Northumberland Park (London) station?
Yes. Northumberland Park (London) station is close to the centre of Northumberland Park, and we cover the whole area.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Is a survey needed before building work in Northumberland Park?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Northumberland Park, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
How we work
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Mention any parking restrictions
