Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Loft conversions
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before plastering
If your home is one of the older properties in Streatham Hill, near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Questions from Streatham Hill
Do textured ceilings in Streatham Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you work in Streatham Hill with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
