About our asbestos survey in Upper Street
Plenty of older buildings, in Upper Street as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Common materials are water tanks, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are planned refurbishment work and surveys requested by builders before work.
Village properties around Upper Street often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

Helpful guides
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
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Duty holders and landlords in Upper Street
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common questions in Upper Street
Do you come out to small villages like Upper Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you survey a school or hall near Upper Street?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
