Asbestos survey near Queensbury
Managing agents and landlords in Queensbury use surveys so trades know what to avoid. People often contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, involving garage roofs, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
Before work on a flat or house in Queensbury, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Queensbury buildings and asbestos surveys
Queensbury is about 2 miles south of Stanmore, in Greater London. Queensbury is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. We work right across the region, from Queensbury to London (11 miles away).
For a school like Glebe Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is usually where that starts. For rented homes close to Kenton station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
This part of Greater London takes in HA3, NW9 and HA7. From Glebe Lane, Kenton Road and Turner Road or a nearby road, the process is the same. Queensbury is on the A4006 and A4140, so it’s easy for us to reach. For properties just outside Queensbury, we cover Kingsbury (1 mile south-east), Preston (1 mile south), Colindale (2 miles east), West Hendon (2 miles east) and The Hyde (2 miles east). Further out, we also cover London (11 miles south-east), City of Westminster (8 miles south-east), Marylebone (8 miles south-east), Kensington (7 miles south-east), St Pancras (9 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (10 miles south-east).
Queensbury is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, where parking and loading can be restricted: let us know about parking and access when you get in touch.
Well-known places in the area include Hilfield Castle (4.7 miles north-west) and Cat Museum (2.2 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Masons Field and Darland's Lake.
- Local schools include Canons High School (0.5 miles north) and Whitchurch Junior School (1.2 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The New Moon pub (0.6 miles south-west)
- Other local spots include Municipal Borough of Hendon (2.7 miles east)
How we price an asbestos survey
We base our quote on:
- The size and age of the building
- The survey type
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The type of material and its condition
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- Damaged areas
- Street parking nearby
- Visible markings
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Dig out previous surveys

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Queensbury
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Demolition projects
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms

What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Areas included and excluded
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Questions from Queensbury
Do older homes in Queensbury have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Queensbury with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- 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
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
