Belmont questions
Do you work near Ore station?
Yes, we cover Belmont and the area towards Ore station, about 0.5 miles north.
How far is Belmont from London?
Belmont is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
The process
Sampling a typical material takes a short time once we are set up; the laboratory analysis takes longer. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Send us photos of the material
- We check whether a test or a survey suits
- We visit and take the samples
- The lab tests the samples
- We explain what the result means for your plans
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Find any old asbestos reports

How we price asbestos testing
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- What the material is and its state
- How many different materials need sampling
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Approximate dimensions
- Cracks or breaks
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Your options compared
One sample or several? Different materials, and sometimes the same material in different places, need separate samples. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

- Send photos of the material and where it is
