Asbestos survey near The Hyde

We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, whichever fits your plans in The Hyde. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Whether it’s purchases of older homes and buildings and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we cover textured ceilings, garage roofs and flues.

In a London neighbourhood like The Hyde, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Duty holders and landlords in The Hyde

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

How we price an asbestos survey

We base our quote on:

  • The type of material and its condition
  • Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
  • How much there is
  • How much sampling is needed

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

What to photograph

Helpful photos:

  • An idea of size
  • Visible markings
  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Doing it yourself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

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.

How it works

If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

  1. Start by telling us about the property and your plans
  2. We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
  3. Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
  4. An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
  5. We send the report with results and recommendations

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if something’s broken
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

What we deal with in The Hyde

Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.

These are some of the things we deal with in The Hyde:

  • Shops, offices and industrial units
  • The communal parts of blocks of flats
  • Buying a property built before 2000
  • Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms

Non-domestic buildings, The Hyde School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Before booking anyone

  • VAT, clearly stated
  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • Survey methods in line with HSG264
  • How many samples are included

What to check before you book

What it might be made of

Pipe lagging

If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.

Textured coatings

We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.

FAQs for The Hyde

Can you survey a school or hall near The Hyde?

Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.

Do you work in The Hyde despite London parking restrictions?

Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

Do I need a test or a survey?

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Do landlords need an asbestos survey?

Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.

How quickly can you come out?

It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

What does the survey report include?

Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.

Is asbestos dangerous?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
