How asbestos survey works in Three Mills
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Three Mills, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Whether it’s checks on rental property and purchases of older homes and buildings, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, soffits and textured ceilings.
For London properties like those in Three Mills, the scope matters most: a whole building, one flat, or just the rooms being refitted. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Three Mills
Do you work near West Ham station?
Yes. West Ham station is about 0.5 miles east of Three Mills, and we cover both.
Could my house in Three Mills contain asbestos?
Any home in Three Mills built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.

Options to consider in Three Mills
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Helpful guides
Typical surveys in Three Mills
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Halls and leisure centres near Three Mills fall into the non-domestic category, so the duty to manage applies.

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. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
After we have finished in Three Mills
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
