Asbestos survey in Bakers Arms
Asbestos survey in Bakers Arms
Not every older building in Bakers Arms contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are planned refurbishment work and demolition projects.
London buildings in areas like Bakers Arms have typically been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Why people call us in Bakers Arms
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Planned refurbishment work
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you let flats or houses near Leyton Midland Road station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

FAQs for Bakers Arms
Do you cover Bakers Arms and the area around Leyton Midland Road station?

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
