How asbestos survey works in Yiewsley
The type of survey you need in Yiewsley depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. Typical jobs include shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and surveys requested by builders before work, including boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and flues.
Properties in areas like Yiewsley have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so we look at every alteration, not just the original building. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Weighing up your options
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Yiewsley questions
Can you work in Yiewsley with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near West Drayton station?
Yes. West Drayton station is about 0.5 miles south-west of Yiewsley, and we cover both.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Is a survey needed before building work in Yiewsley?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Material and condition
- The quantity or area
- The survey scope
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
- Street parking nearby
- A clear close-up
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Surveying buildings in Yiewsley
Yiewsley is about 2 miles south-west of Hillingdon, in Greater London. Anywhere in Yiewsley, just send the postcode, and we will quote. We cover 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 16 miles away.
Planning work on an older building in Yiewsley, whether near St Matthew's or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. Schools such as Rabbsfarm Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
We carry out surveys all over the UB7 and UB8 postcode area. From High Street, Castle Avenue and Kingston Avenue or anywhere nearby, we can help. Yiewsley sits on or near the A408; tell us about parking if you are on a main road. If your property is just outside Yiewsley, we also cover West Drayton (1 mile south), Cowley (1 mile north-west), Thorney (1 mile south-west), Hillingdon (2 miles north-east) and Uxbridge (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include City of Westminster (13 miles east), Marylebone (14 miles east), Kensington (11 miles east), St Pancras (15 miles east), Hampstead (13 miles east) and Ruislip (5 miles north-east).
As a London location, Yiewsley is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading need planning: let us know about parking and access when you get in touch.
Other landmarks nearby include Hillingdon Hospital (0.7 miles north) and The Chimes (2.1 miles north). The countryside around Yiewsley includes Uxbridge Moor and Staines Reservoirs.
- Local schools include Stockley Academy (less than half a mile north-east)
- Local pubs include George and Dragon pub (under half a mile west)
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Yiewsley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What we do and don’t cover
Before you book, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Before we arrive

- Dig out previous surveys
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Where asbestos turns up
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Greater London can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Public and community buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Rented homes due for maintenance
If you manage lettings around West Drayton station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Comparing quotes
- How many samples are included
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The report contents
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After we have finished:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
