Asbestos survey near Wembley
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos survey in Wembley
Managing agents and landlords in Wembley use surveys so trades know what to avoid, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. Whether it’s buying a property built before 2000 and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we deal with floor tiles, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Wembley, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Wembley questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Wembley?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work in Wembley despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wembley must 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.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- 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
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Wembley
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Checks on rental property
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
If you let flats or houses near North Wembley station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

- Whether VAT is included
- The report contents
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before you book builders
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
