Helpful guides
Asbestos survey for Dagenham Green properties
Planning building work in Dagenham Green? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical jobs include community buildings and halls and rented homes due for maintenance, involving boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and flues.
In areas like Dagenham Green, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

- How many different materials need sampling
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- Street parking nearby
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.

Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Dagenham Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Dagenham Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Dagenham Green: your questions answered
Do you work near Dagenham Dock station?
Yes. Dagenham Dock station is close to the centre of Dagenham Green, and we cover the whole area.
Can you work in Dagenham Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
