What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
Asbestos survey for Park Royal properties
The type of survey you need in Park Royal depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. We often deal with water tanks, pipe lagging and floor tiles, and typical jobs are contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and common parts of flats and HMOs.
In a London neighbourhood like Park Royal, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Weighing up your options
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. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Every main survey type
- Work done to the regulations
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
To avoid problems in future:
- 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
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
For businesses and landlords in Park Royal
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Park Royal
Can you work in Park Royal with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Harlesden station?
Yes. Harlesden station is about 0.8 miles north-east of Park Royal, and we cover both.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What affects the price in Park Royal
The cost depends on:
- The size of the job
- How big the building is
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Approximate dimensions
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What it might be made of
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.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Should you do 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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
