About asbestos survey in E12
For landlords and managing agents in E12, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. Typical materials include pipe lagging, flues and soffits, and typical jobs are demolition and strip-out and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey

- The lab analyses the samples

E12: surveys for every kind of building
E12 covers everything from East Ham, Ilford and Plashet to 1 small villages and hamlets, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. In towns we survey homes and businesses; in villages, outbuildings too.
Manor Park: Non-domestic buildings, Sir John Heron Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Got an older property in Manor Park, close to St Mary's Church or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Your options compared
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether extra samples cost more
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- What the material is and its state
- How much sampling is needed
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Cracks or breaks
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What happens next
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.
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Questions from E12
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
