Asbestos surveys across N1P
Surveys across N1P are for homes before renovation, rented property, workplaces and buildings due for demolition, from Hoxton, Angel and Pentonville to small villages.
Hoxton: A school such as Shoreditch Park Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is generally where that starts. If you have an older property in Hoxton, near Church of St Anne with St Columba or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it might be made of
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.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in N1P, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The survey type
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Photos that help

If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Questions from N1P
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you work in N1P?
Yes. We cover N1P and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
