Asbestos testing in Broad Green
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. That is safer than breaking off a piece yourself. People often contact us about one-off checks in rented property and textured ceilings before a renovation, including garage roof sheets, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In flats and conversions around Broad Green, testing is often about one ceiling, one floor or a boiler cupboard before a refit, where a test is all that’s needed. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Choosing the right option
A lab result is far more reliable than guessing from photos. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why people choose us
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Practical recommendations
- Records for your files
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
Read our prices page and published price ranges.
Why people call us in Broad Green

- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement

- Tiles found under carpet
- Panels behind old heaters
At a school like Elmwood Infant School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.

Common questions in Broad Green
Do you work in Broad Green 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.
Do you cover Broad Green and the area around West Croydon station?
Yes. West Croydon station is about 0.6 miles south of Broad Green, and we cover both.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. If you are unsure, ask us to take it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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 normally needed.
