Asbestos testing for Boyn Hill
Asbestos testing in Boyn Hill
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. People often contact us about single materials in rented homes between tenancies and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, involving black adhesive, garage roof sheets and panels behind heaters.
In a smaller place like Boyn Hill, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding, as well as ceilings and floors in the house. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Boyn Hill
Do you cover Boyn Hill from London?
We cover Boyn Hill, about 28 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Boyn Hill homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How can I get a price?
