How asbestos survey works in Parker's Green
Planning building work in Parker's Green? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. People often contact us about community buildings and halls and common parts of flats and HMOs, including floor tiles, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels.
Village houses like those in Parker's Green have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
What happens
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Find any old asbestos reports
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Parker's Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels

Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas.
