Asbestos testing in Bedfont

Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Bedfont use testing before small jobs: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. Typical jobs include old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, involving soffit boards, garage roof sheets and panels behind heaters.

London homes like those in Bedfont have often been refitted many times, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Bedfont

Do you work in Bedfont despite London parking restrictions?

We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.

Do older homes in Bedfont have asbestos?

Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.

How do I know if a material in Bedfont contains asbestos?

Not reliably by eye: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.

What it costs

Our quotes take into account:

The type of survey you need
Location, parking and any London charges
Access to the area
How many outbuildings are included

Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Photos that help

To help us quote quickly, send:

Visible markings
A clear close-up
How we’d reach it
Street parking nearby

To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Duty holders and landlords in Bedfont

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Doing it yourself?

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

What we do and do not cover

A few things to be aware of:

Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common materials

Bitumen adhesive
Water tanks
Soffit boards
Pipe lagging
