Our asbestos testing in Greater London

Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You will learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain your options. Typical jobs include tiles found under carpet and lab results for contractors before they start, including panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and black adhesive.

If we spot other materials that might contain asbestos, we’ll mention them, in case you want them tested as well.

  1. Tell us what you want testing and where
  2. We agree the number of samples and send a quote
  3. We take each sample safely and seal it
  4. An accredited lab analyses them

Asbestos testing across Greater London

Across Greater London, homeowners and landlords test single materials before small jobs, in towns and villages alike. Parts of Greater London are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight.

London: If the property is on or near the A2 and A10, tell us about parking, as stopping on main roads can be restricted. If you live in an older house in London, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.

What happens next

Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.

  • Photos of the material help us plan
  • Tell us what work you’re planning
  • File the result with your property paperwork
  • If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it

Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.

Test before booking the builders, so there is no delay later.

What it costs

The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:

  • How big the building is
  • How many outbuildings are included
  • Access to the area
  • Parking and access charges

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Photos that help

A few photos can save a site visit:

  • Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
  • A close-up from a safe distance
  • An overall view
  • A rough size or measurement

For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Common reasons for tests in Greater London

A test can stop you paying for removal you don’t need, so work can carry on normally.

These are some of the things we deal with in Greater London:

  • Checks before maintenance in rented homes
  • Boiler cupboard panels
  • Debris found after DIY
  • Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair

Doing it yourself?

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

A closer look at the materials

Floor tiles and adhesive

We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.

Textured coatings

A small sample of the coating is enough.

Greater London: your questions answered

When can you start?

That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

When will I get the result?

Timing depends on the lab. We will tell you the expected timing when we quote.

Does someone need to be there?

We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.

Do you work in Greater London?

Yes, we do: Greater London is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
