Asbestos Management Commercial Survey – Dagenham, Essex
Location: Dagenham, Essex
Survey Type: Asbestos Management Survey (Compliance with CAR 2012)
Survey Date: 05/08/2025
We were instructed to carry out a Commercial Asbestos Management Survey at a multi-use commercial property in Dagenham, Essex. The purpose of the survey was to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within the building, assess their condition, and ensure the site remains fully compliant with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Overview:
The property, Lifeline House, is a two-storey commercial premises with office and service areas, located in a busy part of Dagenham. With multiple tenants and visitors on site, it was essential to establish an accurate asbestos register and management plan to protect all building users and contractors carrying out maintenance work.
Survey Methodology:
Our qualified asbestos surveyors followed the HSG264 Asbestos: The Survey Guide, conducting a full inspection of all accessible areas, including:
- Office spaces, corridors, and meeting rooms.
- Plant rooms and service risers.
- External walls, soffits, and roofline areas.
The survey included:
- Visual inspections and assessment of all building materials.
- Bulk sampling of suspected ACMs, with laboratory analysis by a UKAS-accredited facility.
- Risk assessments for each confirmed ACM, including material and priority scores.
- Updating the site’s asbestos register with detailed location maps and photographs.
Key Findings:
The survey identified several ACMs within the property, including:
- Asbestos cement panels located externally near service pipework.
- Textured coatings containing chrysotile asbestos in some office ceilings.
- Vinyl floor tiles containing asbestos in a storage area.
All ACMs were found to be in good condition, with no immediate risk to occupants provided they remain undisturbed.
Conclusion & Recommendations:
The property owner now has a complete asbestos register and management plan to comply with UK regulations. We recommended:
- Annual asbestos re-inspections to monitor condition.
- Clear labelling of ACM locations.
- Ensuring all contractors are made aware of the asbestos register before carrying out any works.
- Arranging a Refurbishment/Demolition Survey if any future works are planned in affected areas.
With the survey complete, the building is fully compliant and safe for daily use, giving peace of mind to the owners, tenants, and visitors alike.
