Little Ilford: your questions answered
Do you cover Little Ilford and the area around Manor Park station?
Yes, we cover Little Ilford, including the streets around Manor Park station.
Could my house in Little Ilford contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
For landlords, agents and businesses

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
