How asbestos survey works in Roxeth
Not every older building in Roxeth contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Whether it’s shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and checks on rental property, we deal with textured ceilings, water tanks and flues and more.
Before work on a flat or house in Roxeth, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Roxeth, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Questions from Roxeth
Do you work in Roxeth despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Roxeth contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- How easy it is to reach
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The quantity or area
- How much sampling is needed
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
Send us the address in Roxeth, a description and some photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
After we have finished in Roxeth
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Surveying buildings in Roxeth
Roxeth is about 1 mile south of Harrow, in Greater London. If your survey is in Roxeth, let us know about access. We work in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Roxeth to London (about 12 miles away).
Got an older property in Roxeth, close to Christ Church or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. Schools such as Roxeth Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
This part of Greater London takes in HA2, HA1 and UB5, and your survey can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Lower Road, Grange Road and Dudley Road, and an asbestos survey is available on all of them. Neighbouring places we cover include South Harrow (1 mile south-west), Harrow (1 mile north), Harrow on the Hill (1 mile east), Northwick Park (1 mile north-east) and Rayners Lane (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also work in London (12 miles south-east), City of Westminster (9 miles south-east), Marylebone (9 miles east), Kensington (8 miles south-east), St Pancras (10 miles east) and Shoreditch (12 miles east).
As a London location, Roxeth is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading need planning: tell us about parking, permits and access when you ask for a quote.
A little further out are Clementine Churchill Hospital (0.7 miles east) and Kodak Museum (1.7 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Northala Fields and Perivale Wood.
- Nearby schools include St Dominic's Sixth Form College (under half a mile south-east) and Orley Farm School (within half a mile south-east)
- Local pubs include The White Horse pub (within half a mile north-east)
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Step by step
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. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
