Typical surveys in Stoke Newington
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition and strip-out
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
Public buildings around Stoke Newington, such as leisure centres and halls, are non-domestic premises, so their owners must manage any asbestos.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive

After we have finished in Stoke Newington
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
How we work
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 set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Stoke Newington: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Stoke Newington?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Stoke Newington and the area around Stoke Newington station?
Yes, we cover Stoke Newington and the area towards Stoke Newington station, about 0.5 miles east.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Stoke Newington?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work in Stoke Newington?
Yes, Stoke Newington is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
