DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos survey for Stroud Green properties
Planning building work in Stroud Green? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical materials include soffits, water tanks and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
In a London neighbourhood like Stroud Green, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition

- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition projects
- Public and community buildings
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties

Options to consider in Stroud Green
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

- Houses, flats and business premises
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Duty holders and landlords in Stroud Green
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
