WHO WE ARE
Professional Asbestos Surveyors in Walthamstow
If you require a professional asbestos survey in Walthamstow, Asbestos Surveys Essex provides comprehensive asbestos surveying services for residential, commercial and public sector properties throughout Walthamstow and the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
Walthamstow has undergone significant regeneration in recent years, yet many of its properties were built decades before asbestos was banned in the UK. From Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses around Walthamstow Village and Hoe Street, to post-war housing estates, schools, healthcare buildings and commercial premises close to Blackhorse Road and The Mall Walthamstow, asbestos-containing materials can still be present within the fabric of many buildings.
Our experienced asbestos surveyors regularly inspect properties across Walthamstow, helping homeowners, landlords, developers and businesses identify asbestos before refurbishment, maintenance or demolition work begins.

Local Knowledge of Walthamstow Properties
Choosing an asbestos surveying company with experience of Walthamstow can make a significant difference when inspecting older buildings. The area has expanded considerably over the last century, with housing ranging from Victorian terraces and Edwardian family homes to post-war estates, converted warehouses and modern apartment developments.
Our surveyors regularly carry out asbestos surveys throughout Walthamstow Village, Hoe Street, Wood Street, Higham Hill, Blackhorse Road, Chapel End, Lea Bridge, Markhouse, Lloyd Park and St James Street, giving us an excellent understanding of the construction methods and building materials commonly found across the area.
Many properties in Walthamstow have undergone multiple refurbishments over the years, often concealing asbestos-containing materials behind newer finishes. This makes a professional asbestos survey particularly important before any intrusive maintenance, structural alterations or refurbishment work begins.

Our experience surveying buildings throughout Walthamstow has shown that asbestos can still be present in a wide range of materials, including:
- Textured decorative coatings.
- Asbestos cement roof sheets and garage panels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an asbestos survey in Walthamstow?
If your property was built or refurbished before 2000, asbestos may still be present within the building. Before carrying out refurbishment, demolition or certain maintenance works, an asbestos survey helps identify any asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed.
What happens if asbestos is found?
Finding asbestos does not automatically mean it needs to be removed. Many asbestos-containing materials remain safe if they are in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed. Our reports clearly explain the condition of each material together with practical recommendations for management, repair or removal where appropriate.
Which survey do I need?
The correct survey depends on your plans for the property.
• Management Survey – for the normal occupation and ongoing maintenance of a building.
• Refurbishment Survey – before renovation or structural alterations.
• Demolition Survey – before a building is demolished.
Our team will be happy to advise which survey is appropriate before arranging an appointment.
Which parts of Waltham Forest do you cover?
We provide asbestos surveys across the entire London Borough of Waltham Forest, including Walthamstow, Leyton, Leytonstone, Chingford, Highams Park and surrounding East London locations.
