Asbestos testing in Beam Park
Asbestos testing near Beam Park
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Beam Park use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. People often contact us about single materials in rented homes between tenancies and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving textured ceilings, black adhesive and soffit boards.
London homes like those in Beam Park have often been refitted many times, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Beam Park, 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.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Beam Park: your questions answered
Can you work in Beam Park with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Beam Park and the area around Dagenham Dock station?
Yes. Dagenham Dock station is about 1 mile west of Beam Park, and we cover both.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We will suggest a number when we see the photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. Ask and we will explain.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Your options compared
Testing before work usually costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
