Looking after things afterwards
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Photos of the material help us plan
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
Avoid these
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Please don’t take your own sample.
Asbestos testing in Benhilton
Asbestos testing tells you whether a specific material contains asbestos We sample suspect materials in Benhilton and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Typical jobs include garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and a material damaged during DIY, involving floor tiles, textured ceilings and panels behind heaters.
Properties in Benhilton may have layers of past work, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
For businesses and landlords in Benhilton
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
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.
Questions from Benhilton
Could my house in Benhilton contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Benhilton with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you test Artex in Benhilton?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do I need more than one sample?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll suggest a number when we see the photos.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may have it.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Soffit boards
For an older property in Benhilton, whether near All Saints Church or not, a quick test before work is sensible.
