Questions from Strand-on-the-Green
Can you work in Strand-on-the-Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Strand-on-the-Green and the area around Chiswick station?
Yes. Chiswick station is about 0.5 miles south-east of Strand-on-the-Green, and we cover both.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you cover Strand-on-the-Green?
Yes, Strand-on-the-Green is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
What we deal with in Strand-on-the-Green
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:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Community buildings and halls
If you are a landlord near Chiswick station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
For businesses and landlords in Strand-on-the-Green
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
