About our asbestos survey in Chingford Mount
If a building in Chingford Mount dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical jobs include purchases of older homes and buildings and workplaces built before 2000, including boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and garage roofs.
London buildings in areas like Chingford Mount have usually been altered many times, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.

Chingford Mount questions
Is asbestos common in Chingford Mount homes?
If your home in Chingford Mount was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey a school or hall near Chingford Mount?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, before going to an accredited laboratory. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.

To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

Why people call us in Chingford Mount

- Demolition and strip-out
- Rented homes due for maintenance
