About our asbestos survey in Yeading
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, whichever fits your plans in Yeading. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. People often contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and purchases of older homes and buildings, involving flues, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
In a London neighbourhood like Yeading, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, where the shared parts fall under the duty to manage and each flat is the owner’s responsibility. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What happens next
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Some practical advice:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Getting ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Make sure we can get to the area

Helpful guides
Which option is right?
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Typical surveys in Yeading
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. That’s why so many buildings in Greater London can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Checks on rental property
If you let flats or houses near Southall station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
How we price an asbestos survey
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
- How much sampling is needed
- How many outbuildings are included
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- A picture of the whole area
- Cracks or breaks
- The access route
- Street parking nearby

Duty holders and landlords in Yeading

If you manage or own a block in Yeading, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Common questions in Yeading
Do you work near Southall station?
Yes. Southall station is about 1.8 miles south of Yeading, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Yeading homes?
If your home in Yeading was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
