Asbestos testing for Blendon properties
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Blendon you’re not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. People often contact us about debris found after DIY and panels behind old heaters, involving black adhesive, textured ceilings and flue pipes.
In places like Blendon, we often test a single material in a flat before work, when a full survey would be more than you need. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Blendon
Can you work in Blendon with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near Albany Park station?
Yes, we cover Blendon and the area towards Albany Park station, about 0.8 miles south.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

The scope of asbestos testing
A few things to be aware of:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Soffit boards
- Floor tiles
- Bitumen adhesive
- Roof felt
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Garage roof sheets
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
