Asbestos in Park Royal
Park Royal is London's largest industrial estate, and its building stock reflects decades of factory, warehouse and workshop construction from the 1930s through to the 1980s. Corrugated asbestos cement is everywhere here: roof sheets, wall cladding, rooflight surrounds, gutters, downpipes and internal partitioning, along with insulating board to plant rooms, fire breaks and office fit-outs, and lagging on older heating and process pipework. Continuous churn of tenants, sublets and unit subdivision means the fabric is repeatedly drilled, cut and re-serviced by contractors who often arrive with no register at all. The small resident population is beside the point — demand here is overwhelmingly commercial duty-to-manage survey work and pre-refurbishment surveys ahead of the area's constant redevelopment.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Park Royal properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Testing & Air Monitoring in Park Royal: FAQs
We've taken a Park Royal warehouse on a full repairing lease — what do we need in place?
A full repairing lease usually puts the duty to manage under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 squarely on you as occupier. You need a management survey, an asbestos register, a condition assessment and a written plan shared with every contractor before they touch the fabric. Pricing scales with floor area and roof access, starting around £200-£300 for a small unit and rising considerably for large warehouse spans.
We're stripping out a unit for a new fit-out — is a management survey enough?
No. Before any strip-out or demolition you need a refurbishment and demolition survey, which is intrusive and goes into voids, ducts, plant rooms and behind linings that a management survey deliberately leaves alone. Anything found that is lagging, sprayed coating or insulating board makes the removal licensed and notifiable to the HSE, with a fourteen-day notification period that has to be built into your programme. Discovering that after the contractors mobilise is the single most expensive way to find out.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
