For a school like Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register. Public buildings around Tyburn, such as leisure centres and halls, are non-domestic premises, so their owners must manage any asbestos.

Good to know
The usual limits are:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen

More for properties in Tyburn
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Tyburn questions
Can you work in Tyburn with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Tyburn?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Tyburn?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Looking after things afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let us know where we can park
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
