Asbestos survey in Winchmore Hill

Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Asbestos survey for Winchmore Hill properties
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with, in plain English. From demolition and strip-out and community buildings and halls, we deal with floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and soffits.
Before work on a flat or house in Winchmore Hill, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Winchmore Hill, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Questions from Winchmore Hill
Can you work in Winchmore Hill with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you cover Winchmore Hill and the area around Winchmore Hill station?
Yes. Winchmore Hill station is close to the centre of Winchmore Hill, and we cover the whole area.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
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.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding

Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
