Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Common questions in Tower Hill
Do you cover Tower Hill and the area around London Fenchurch Street station?
Yes. London Fenchurch Street station is close to the centre of Tower Hill, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Tower Hill contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work in Tower Hill?
Yes, we do: Tower Hill is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Where does the asbestos go?
