Asbestos testing for Brimsdown properties
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we will explain what that means for your plans in Brimsdown. Whether it’s old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and debris found after DIY, we cover floor tiles, flue pipes and soffit boards.
In flats and conversions around Brimsdown, testing is often about one ceiling, one floor or a boiler cupboard before a refit, when a full survey would be more than you need. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common reasons for tests in Brimsdown
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so materials in homes and buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Results builders ask for before work
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
If you work at a school like Brimsdown Primary School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.
What to look for in a quote

Responsibilities for owners

Questions from Brimsdown
Do you work in Brimsdown despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Brimsdown contain asbestos?
Any home in Brimsdown built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
A test before removal is a good idea.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.

Helpful guides
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a picture
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Floor tiles
- Bitumen adhesive
- Garage roof sheets
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Pipe lagging
- Soffit boards
Choosing the right option
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you’re worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. For small jobs a test is often enough. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Clear advice on your options
- Records for your files
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
