Asbestos survey for West Green
Asbestos survey in West Green
Any building in West Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From purchases of older homes and buildings and rented homes due for maintenance, we deal with textured ceilings, water tanks and pipe lagging and more.
London buildings in areas like West Green have normally been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Helpful guides
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Keeping things safe:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Common reasons for surveys in West Green
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition projects
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
Halls and leisure centres near West Green fall into the non-domestic category, so the duty to manage applies.
What your quote should include

- How many samples are included
- What you’ll receive in writing
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
