Your questions about an asbestos survey in Primrose Hill
Do you work near Kentish Town West station?
Yes, we cover Primrose Hill and the area towards Kentish Town West station, about 0.7 miles north-east.
Can you survey a school or hall near Primrose Hill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work in Primrose Hill?
We do: our area includes Primrose Hill and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: 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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats generally do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Common reasons for surveys in Primrose Hill
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
In older properties, we often see:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
For rented homes close to Kentish Town West station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
What to look for in a quote
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Suitable insurance for the work
Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Going forward:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
