Asbestos help in Aldersbrook
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. It helps if we can park nearby.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

About our asbestos survey in Aldersbrook
What you’re planning in Aldersbrook decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. Whether it’s shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with flues, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels.
London buildings in areas like Aldersbrook have typically been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Typical surveys in Aldersbrook
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Checks on rental property
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Schools, halls and community buildings
If you are a landlord near Wanstead Park station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
What your quote should include
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The number of samples
- What the report or result will contain
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Your options compared
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Domestic and commercial work
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Aldersbrook: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Aldersbrook?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work near Wanstead Park station?
Yes. Wanstead Park station is about 0.9 miles south-west of Aldersbrook, and we cover both.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The type of survey you need
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The building’s size and layout
- Access to the area
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A rough size or measurement
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will advise.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Aldersbrook, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
