Asbestos survey in Willesden Green
Plenty of older buildings, in Willesden Green as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours. Whether it’s common parts of flats and HMOs and demolition and strip-out, we deal with water tanks, floor tiles and flues and more.
Properties in towns and villages like Willesden Green have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Willesden Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After we’ve finished in Willesden Green
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once we are done:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues

What else we do in Willesden Green
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Common questions in Willesden Green
Do you work near Kensal Rise station?
Yes. Kensal Rise station is about 0.7 miles south-east of Willesden Green, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Willesden Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why people choose us
