Asbestos survey for Queens Park properties
Planning building work in Queens Park? 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. Typical materials include soffits, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles, and typical jobs are rented homes due for maintenance and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
A survey in Queens Park typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Typical surveys in Queens Park
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That is why so many buildings in Buckinghamshire can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
If you manage lettings around Aylesbury station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

Looking after things afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- 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
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Ensure we can get to the area

Helpful guides
Choosing the right option
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- How many outbuildings are included

Queens Park questions
Do you cover Queens Park from London?
Queens Park is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Queens Park have asbestos?
If your home in Queens Park was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
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. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.

What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with

- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
