Asbestos testing for Brunswick Park properties
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Brunswick Park? Testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Whether it’s single materials in rented homes between tenancies and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we cover flue pipes, soffit boards and garage roof sheets.
London homes like those in Brunswick Park have often been refitted many times, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Questions from Brunswick Park
Do older homes in Brunswick Park have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near New Southgate station?
Yes. New Southgate station is about 0.9 miles south of Brunswick Park, and we cover both.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What affects the price in Brunswick Park
Quotes vary because of:
- How many outbuildings are included
- The number of materials to sample
- The building’s size and layout
- The survey type
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Damaged areas
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Step by step
Sampling a typical material takes a short time once we are set up. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us what the material is, where it is, and send a photo if you can
- We quote for the samples needed
- Each sample is taken carefully and sealed
- An accredited laboratory carries out the analysis
- We send the result and explain your options
Getting ready
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep children and pets away on the day

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

- Soffit boards
- Floor tiles
- Garage roof sheets
- Pipe lagging
- Flue pipes
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Water tanks

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive

Typical tests in Brunswick Park
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples, since sampling disturbs the material.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Debris found after DIY
- Lab results for contractors before they start
Schools such as St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the report or result will contain
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Areas included and excluded
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
