What we deal with in Pinner Green
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Typical jobs in Pinner Green include:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Planned refurbishment work
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Buying a property built before 2000
If you manage lettings around Hatch End station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Before booking anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- What the report or result will contain
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether extra samples cost more
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion.
- 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 report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know if something’s broken

- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.

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 it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
