HSG264
Surveys are engineered to HSE HSG264 standards and executed by BOHS P402 certified surveyors carrying comprehensive professional indemnity coverage.
From 1930s semi-detached homes in Hornchurch and Gidea Park to commercial units around Romford town centre and the Rainham industrial corridor, we deliver the right survey for your property, your project and your legal duties.
The standard survey for the day-to-day management of any pre-2000 building in Havering. We locate and assess asbestos-containing materials during normal occupation, giving landlords, facilities managers and homeowners a clear asbestos register that satisfies Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Ideal for: landlords, schools, offices, shops, housing associations and residential purchases.
Legally required before any refurbishment, extension, loft conversion or demolition work. This fully intrusive survey identifies asbestos hidden within the building fabric — behind walls, under floors and above ceilings — so your Havering project can proceed safely and lawfully.
Ideal for: builders, developers, architects and homeowners planning structural works.
Suspect a specific material — textured ceiling coatings, floor tiles, cement sheeting, pipe lagging? Our commercial asbestos sampling service in Havering collects the material safely and delivers a definitive UKAS-accredited laboratory result, fast. One sample or fifty, the process is quick and discreet.
Ideal for: quick answers before DIY, maintenance works or property transactions.
Havering grew with the District line and LNER commuter boom of the 1920s and 30s. Hornchurch, Elm Park, Upminster, Gidea Park and Collier Row filled with semi-detached housing built when asbestos cement was standard specification — garage and outbuilding roofs, soffits, gutters, downpipes, cold water tanks and airing-cupboard panels from this era are the borough's most consistent residential finds.
Harold Hill adds the post-war layer: one of the LCC's major out-county estates, built from 1948 onward with thousands of homes, schools and civic buildings from the peak asbestos decades. Panel systems, textured coatings, soffits and boiler-house materials from this stock — and from Romford's mid-century town-centre buildings — surface constantly during refurbishment and estate-renewal work.
The Rainham and Thames-side industrial corridor completes the picture, with mid-century works, depots and warehousing along the A13 and river now transitioning to logistics and housing as part of the wider Thames Estuary regeneration. Every pre-2000 structure in that pipeline legally requires a refurbishment and demolition survey before conversion or demolition — keeping commercial survey demand in Havering steady alongside its busy residential extension market.

Check Availability in Your AreaIf you own, manage or are responsible for a non-domestic building in Havering built before 2000, Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 places a legal duty on you to manage asbestos — and a management survey is the recognised way to meet it. For homeowners, a survey is strongly recommended before buying or refurbishing pre-2000 housing stock, and a refurbishment/demolition survey is legally required before any work that disturbs the fabric of the building.
Pricing depends on the size, age and complexity of the property and the survey type required. A management survey of a typical Havering terrace or semi is highly affordable, while larger commercial premises around Romford town centre and the Rainham industrial corridor are quoted on floor area and sample count. Call 07707 999369 or email info@asbestoslondonsurvey.co.uk for a fixed, no-obligation quote — most are provided the same day.
