Asbestos survey near Paddington Green
Managing agents and landlords in Paddington Green use surveys so trades know what to avoid, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. Whether it’s pre-purchase checks on older properties and surveys requested by builders before work, we cover soffits, garage roofs and flues.
Before work on a flat or house in Paddington Green, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in Paddington Green
Could my house in Paddington Green contain asbestos?
If your home in Paddington Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Paddington Green despite London parking restrictions?
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
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 asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Planning work on an older building in Paddington Green, whether near St Mary on Paddington Green Church or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. Schools such as Ark Paddington Green Primary Academy 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.

Where asbestos turns up
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition projects
If you’re a landlord near London Paddington station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

Duty holders and landlords in Paddington Green
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you manage or own a block in Paddington Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why people choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Across London and the South East
- Each material’s condition recorded
Read how we quote or published price ranges.
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
After we’ve finished in Paddington Green
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Once we’re done:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
