Asbestos survey in HA6: what to expect
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in HA6, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include buying a property built before 2000 and planned refurbishment work, involving soffits, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty.

- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling

Surveying buildings in HA6
From Ruislip, Pinner Green and South Oxhey to 2 villages and hamlets, buildings across HA6 range from terraces and estates to farms and industrial units, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Town surveys are often for homes and businesses; rural surveys often include outbuildings.
Eastbury: Planning work on an older building in Eastbury, whether near Emmanuel Church or elsewhere? Get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up. Schools such as Eastbury Farm 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.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Duty holders and landlords in HA6
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
For managing agents and freeholders in HA6, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Options to consider in HA6
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted.

FAQs for HA6
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
