WHO WE ARE
Professional Asbestos Surveyors in Stratford and the London Borough of Newham
If you require a professional asbestos survey in Stratford, Asbestos Surveys Essex provides expert asbestos surveying services throughout Stratford, Newham and the surrounding East London area. We work with homeowners, landlords, developers, housing associations, commercial businesses, schools and public sector organisations, delivering detailed asbestos surveys that help clients meet their legal responsibilities while protecting everyone using the building.
Although Stratford is now recognised internationally for the transformation created by the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, much of the area still consists of older residential streets, commercial premises and industrial buildings dating back to the late Victorian period and throughout the twentieth century. Many of these properties were constructed or refurbished at a time when asbestos was widely used within the building industry, making professional asbestos surveys an essential part of property ownership and redevelopment.
WHAT WE DO BEST
Extensive Knowledge of Stratford’s Buildings
Stratford has one of the most varied property portfolios anywhere in East London. The area combines historic Victorian terraces around Maryland, traditional streets leading towards Forest Gate, post-war housing developments, former railway buildings, converted industrial premises, educational facilities and modern apartment complexes surrounding the Olympic Park.
The regeneration that followed the London 2012 Olympic Games has transformed significant parts of Stratford, yet numerous buildings outside the main redevelopment zones still retain original construction materials where asbestos may be present. Our surveyors regularly inspect properties throughout Stratford Town Centre, Stratford High Street, Carpenters Estate, Angel Lane, Maryland, West Ham, Pudding Mill Lane, Temple Mills and the wider London Borough of Newham, giving us valuable local knowledge of the area’s building styles and construction history.
Asbestos Surveys for Every Property Type
We provide asbestos surveys for a wide range of properties throughout Stratford, including:
- Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses
- Modern apartment developments
- Housing association properties
- Commercial offices
- Retail units
- Warehouses and industrial buildings
- Schools and colleges
- Healthcare facilities
- Community buildings
- Hotels and leisure premises.
Every survey is tailored to the individual property and completed in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and current Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance.
Common Asbestos Materials Found in Stratford
Having completed surveys across East London, we regularly encounter asbestos-containing materials within older Stratford properties, including:
- Textured decorative coatings
- Asbestos insulating board (AIB)
- Vinyl floor tiles and bitumen adhesives
- Ceiling tiles and suspended ceiling systems
- Fire-resistant wall panels
- Pipe lagging and thermal insulation
- Asbestos cement roofs and wall cladding
- Soffits, gutters and rainwater goods
- Boiler room insulation
- Service risers and electrical ducting
Representative samples are carefully collected using controlled techniques before being analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory, ensuring accurate identification of any asbestos-containing materials present within the building.
Supporting Stratford’s Continuing Development
Few areas of London have changed as dramatically as Stratford. The arrival of Westfield Stratford City, improved transport links through Stratford International, and ongoing regeneration surrounding the Olympic Park continue to attract investment across the area.
Alongside these impressive modern developments are thousands of older buildings undergoing refurbishment, extensions, conversions and redevelopment. Before contractors remove ceilings, alter walls, replace flooring or install new services, an appropriate asbestos survey should always be undertaken to identify any asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during the work.
Our surveyors regularly support homeowners renovating period properties, developers converting older commercial buildings, schools improving educational facilities and businesses modernising office accommodation throughout Stratford.

Professional Asbestos Surveys Across Stratford’s Diverse Property Portfolio
Stratford has long been recognised as one of East London’s most important commercial and residential centres. While the area is now synonymous with the regeneration that followed the London 2012 Olympic Games, much of Stratford still consists of buildings constructed during the Victorian era and throughout the twentieth century, when asbestos-containing materials were routinely incorporated into construction.
Our surveyors regularly inspect properties throughout Stratford Town Centre, Maryland, Stratford High Street, Carpenters Estate, Temple Mills, Pudding Mill Lane, West Ham and the wider London Borough of Newham. This extensive local experience allows us to understand the construction techniques used across different generations of buildings while identifying areas where asbestos is commonly encountered.
Whether you’re refurbishing a period home, managing a commercial premises or planning redevelopment works, our surveys provide the information needed to complete projects safely and in accordance with current legislation.
Supporting Stratford’s Residential Growth
Large areas surrounding Stratford International, East Village, Chobham Manor and the neighbourhoods bordering the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park have seen extensive new housing development over recent years. However, many existing homes nearby continue to undergo extensions, loft conversions and internal refurbishment.
Before walls are removed, ceilings disturbed or services upgraded, identifying asbestos is essential to protect contractors and ensure building works proceed without unnecessary delays.
Our asbestos refurbishment surveys are frequently commissioned before kitchen renovations, bathroom refurbishments, structural alterations, office fit-outs and commercial redevelopment projects throughout Stratford.

Each property type presents different challenges, requiring an experienced surveyor who understands how asbestos was historically incorporated into different styles of construction.
