Asbestos Surveys in Romford
If you need an asbestos survey in Romford — to manage a building, satisfy a lender, or clear the way for refurbishment — our P402-qualified surveyors cover the whole of Greater London.
Asbestos in Romford
Romford is a busy market town and retail hub in the London Borough of Havering, ringed by vast interwar estates such as Gidea Park and Harold Hill, one of the largest council estates ever built. Those 1930s suburbs and post-war estates left widespread artex, asbestos cement garages and soffits, and asbestos insulating board in service ducts and cupboards.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Romford properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Surveys in Romford: FAQs
What asbestos is common in Harold Hill and Romford estate homes?
Post-war Havering estates frequently used asbestos insulating board to ceilings and ducts, asbestos cement to garages and soffits, and textured coatings throughout. These should be sampled before any drilling or removal, which we carry out across the RM postcodes.
Can you remove an asbestos garage roof in Romford?
Yes — corrugated cement garage roofs are very common across Romford's interwar estates, and removal is usually non-licensed work from around £350 to £700, with all sheets taken to a licensed disposal site and a waste transfer note provided.
Which asbestos survey do I actually need?
If the building is staying as-is, a management survey satisfies your legal duty to manage. If you are refurbishing or demolishing any part of it, the law requires the more intrusive refurbishment & demolition survey before work begins. We will confirm the right one free of charge.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A domestic management survey is often done in a single morning. Larger commercial premises or intrusive refurbishment surveys take longer, but we return UKAS-analysed results and the full report typically within 48 hours of the site visit.
