How asbestos survey works in NW7

We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in NW7, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, involving water tanks, garage roofs and floor tiles.

Mill Hill: If you let flats or houses near Mill Hill Broadway station, share asbestos information with trades before work. Got an older property in Mill Hill, close to St Paul's Church or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
For managing agents and freeholders in NW7, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
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.
Which option is right?
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. Our guide explains which you need.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Common reasons for surveys in NW7
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.
These are some of the things we deal with in NW7:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition projects
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
NW7 questions
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you cover NW7?
Yes. We cover NW7 and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
