Asbestos survey in Leyton Grange
How asbestos survey works in Leyton Grange
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Leyton Grange, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Whether it’s buying a property built before 2000 and common parts of flats and HMOs, we cover floor tiles, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels.
In places like Leyton Grange, 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 leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

The scope of an asbestos survey
The usual limits are:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Some practical advice:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
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.
Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Clear next steps

Questions from Leyton Grange
Do older homes in Leyton Grange have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Leyton Grange and the area around Leyton Midland Road station?
Yes. Leyton Midland Road station is about 0.6 miles north-east of Leyton Grange, and we cover both.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

Duty holders and landlords in Leyton Grange
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
