Asbestos survey for Westbourne Green
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How asbestos survey works in Westbourne Green
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Westbourne Green, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and community buildings and halls, including water tanks, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels.
Properties in areas like Westbourne Green have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before booking:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
What we deal with in Westbourne Green
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
Schools such as Edward Wilson Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
Comparing quotes
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What the report or result will contain
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Westbourne Green
Could my house in Westbourne Green contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Westbourne Green despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats normally do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do you work in Westbourne Green?
Yes. We cover Westbourne Green and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
