Asbestos survey in HA3: what to expect
Our surveys in HA3 cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. We often deal with soffits, textured ceilings and water tanks, and typical jobs are common parts of flats and HMOs and purchases of older homes and buildings.
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations

Surveying buildings in HA3
HA3 covers everything from Harrow, Stanmore and Hatch End to 0 small villages and hamlets, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. In towns we survey homes and businesses; in villages, outbuildings too.
Kenton: If you have an older property in Kenton, near Church of St Mary or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. A school such as St Gregory's Catholic Science College counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you manage or own a block in HA3, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What we deal with in HA3
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Schools, halls and community buildings
After we’ve finished in HA3
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
HA3: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
