Asbestos survey in Ruislip Manor
Asbestos survey in Ruislip Manor
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. Typical jobs include purchases of older homes and buildings and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, involving pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.
Before work on a flat or house in Ruislip Manor, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Why people call us in Ruislip Manor
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Checks on rental property
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
For a school like Lady Bankes Infant School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Comparing quotes
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Areas included and excluded
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Looking after things afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Going forward:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before you book builders
What to avoid
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ruislip Manor, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
DIY and asbestos
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.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
FAQs for Ruislip Manor
Can you survey a school or hall near Ruislip Manor?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you work in Ruislip Manor with London’s parking rules?
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 home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
