About our asbestos testing in Brooks Green
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Brooks Green? A sample test gives you an answer. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Typical jobs include floor tiles and black adhesive and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, including floor tiles, textured ceilings and garage roof sheets.
In places like Brooks Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Brooks Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
FAQs for Brooks Green
Do you come out to small villages like Brooks Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Brooks Green from London?
We cover Brooks Green, about 36 miles from central London.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll suggest a number when we see the photos.
What happens if the test is positive?
You’ll know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Testing does not look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
