Asbestos survey in Yiewsley
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Yiewsley. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Typical jobs include workplaces built before 2000 and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including floor tiles, soffits and flues.
In a London neighbourhood like Yiewsley, surveys are often for flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Getting ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

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. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- The right survey for your plans
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Covering London and the South East
Take a look at how we quote or published price ranges.
What happens next
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Going forward:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Why people call us in Yiewsley

What else we do in Yiewsley
Common questions in Yiewsley
Can you survey a school or hall near Yiewsley?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Yiewsley and the area around Southall station?
Yes. Southall station is about 1.8 miles south of Yiewsley, and we cover both.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Materials, one by one
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.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
