Where asbestos turns up
The danger usually comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
In older properties, we often see:
- Community buildings and halls
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you manage lettings around Walthamstow Central station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

Warner Estate: your questions answered
Do older homes in Warner Estate have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Warner Estate?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
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?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you cover Warner Estate?
Yes. We cover Warner Estate and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Options to consider in Warner Estate
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
A few practical points:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- What the material is and its state
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

For businesses and landlords in Warner Estate
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
