Your options compared

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
For businesses and landlords in Palmers Green
If you manage or own a block in Palmers Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The process
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. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- 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
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Questions from Palmers Green
Do you work in Palmers Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Can you survey a school or hall near Palmers Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Why people call us in Palmers Green

- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Surveys requested by builders before work
