Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Asbestos survey near Redbridge
The type of survey you need in Redbridge depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will recommend the right one. From rented homes due for maintenance and community buildings and halls, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and garage roofs and more.
Village properties around Redbridge often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How many outbuildings are included
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Redbridge questions
Do older homes in Redbridge have asbestos?
Any home in Redbridge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Redbridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings generally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.

After we’ve finished in Redbridge
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once we are done:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before you book builders
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Duty holders and landlords in Redbridge
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Redbridge, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Where asbestos turns up
The danger typically comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Community buildings and halls
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
Planning work on an older building in Redbridge, whether near All Saints or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- What the report or result will contain
- VAT, clearly stated
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
