About our asbestos survey in Seven Sisters
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Seven Sisters. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. From the communal parts of blocks of flats and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we cover soffits, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging and more.
Properties in towns and villages like Seven Sisters have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Why people call us in Seven Sisters
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Public and community buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Planning work on an older building in Seven Sisters, whether near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Comparing quotes
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What the report or result will contain
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Areas included and excluded
Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Going forward:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

What else we do in Seven Sisters
Seven Sisters: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Seven Sisters?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you work in Seven Sisters with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Do you cover Seven Sisters?
We do: our area includes Seven Sisters and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- How much there is
- How easy it is to reach
- The building’s size and layout
- Which survey type fits your plans
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Photo tips:

- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

For businesses and landlords in Seven Sisters
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Seven Sisters, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Domestic and commercial work
- Covering London and the South East
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
