How asbestos survey works in South Kenton
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in South Kenton, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. People often contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, including garage roofs, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels.
In areas like South Kenton, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

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.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What you get
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
Step by step
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Common questions in South Kenton
Do older homes in South Kenton have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in South Kenton may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey a school or hall near South Kenton?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Which asbestos survey do I need in South Kenton?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Do you work in South Kenton?
We do: South Kenton is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
