FAQs for Turnham Green
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Turnham Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work in Turnham Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Turnham Green?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
Is a survey needed before building work in Turnham Green?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Public and community buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you’re a landlord near Chiswick station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether VAT is included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The number of samples
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Turnham Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Turnham Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
