Questions from Bromley Green
Do you cover Bromley Green and the area around Ham Street station?
Yes. Ham Street station is about 1.9 miles south of Bromley Green, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Bromley Green homes?
If your home in Bromley Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

For businesses and landlords in Bromley Green
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Bromley Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What happens next
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
After we have finished:
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
