Asbestos testing in E18: what to expect
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in E18? A sample test gives you an answer. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. We often deal with garage roof sheets, textured ceilings and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about something broken during building work and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
If we spot other materials that might contain asbestos, we’ll mention them, in case you want them tested as well.

- We agree the number of samples and send a quote
- Samples are taken with controls
- An accredited lab analyses them

E18: testing for homes and workplaces
In E18, a quick test before a small job is common, from Woodford, Wanstead and South Woodford to its villages.
South Woodford: On busy roads like the A113 and A1199, parking can be tricky, so mention it when you get in touch. Schools such as Oakdale Infants' School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What we deal with in E18
Testing can show a material doesn’t contain asbestos at all, which saves time and money.
Typical jobs in E18 include:
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Something broken during building work
- Lab results for contractors before they start
After the job
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will normally be licensed, and we’ll explain what that involves.
- Make the area easy to reach
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Photos of the material help us plan
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Choosing the right option
How many samples? Different materials, and sometimes the same material in different places, need separate samples.
Before you book anyone
- How many samples are included
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope, in writing
- VAT, clearly stated
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
FAQs for E18
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
We’ll explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work in E18?
Yes. We cover E18 and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
