Asbestos survey for Staples Corner
Asbestos survey in Staples Corner
For landlords and managing agents in Staples Corner, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. From public and community buildings and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we deal with water tanks, soffits and garage roofs and more.
Before work on a flat or house in Staples Corner, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Common reasons for surveys in Staples Corner
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
If you are a landlord near Brent Cross West station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

After we’ve finished in Staples Corner
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Staples Corner
Can you survey a school or hall near Staples Corner?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you work in Staples Corner with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work in Staples Corner?
Yes, we do: our area includes Staples Corner and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.

Choosing the right option
