About our asbestos survey in Turnpike Lane
If you are buying a home or building in Turnpike Lane from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Whether it’s refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and purchases of older homes and buildings, we deal with textured ceilings, garage roofs and floor tiles and more.
In places like Turnpike Lane, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
After we’ve finished in Turnpike Lane
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Some practical advice:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Turnpike Lane: your questions answered
Could my house in Turnpike Lane contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Turnpike Lane may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Turnpike Lane despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings typically starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
The process
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

These come up again and again:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
If you let flats or houses near Hornsey station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
