Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Walls before tiling
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings coming down
If you’re refurbishing flats near Chiswick station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Common questions in Turnham Green
Do you work near Chiswick station?
Yes, we cover Turnham Green and the area towards Chiswick station, about 0.7 miles south-west.
Is asbestos common in Turnham Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
