How asbestos survey works in Rise Park
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. People often contact us about community buildings and halls and demolition projects, involving garage roofs, water tanks and floor tiles.
In a London neighbourhood like Rise Park, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common questions in Rise Park
Do you work near Gidea Park station?
Yes. Gidea Park station is about 1.4 miles south-east of Rise Park, and we cover both.
Do you work in Rise Park despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- How many outbuildings are included
- How much sampling is needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
Each job is priced individually. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Typical surveys in Rise Park
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Community buildings and halls
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
If you have an older property in Rise Park, near St James or anywhere else, survey the areas you are working on before work starts.

What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If your business premises in Rise Park were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
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.
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Samples go to the laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
