How asbestos testing works in Burwood Park
If something has been damaged during work in Burwood Park, stop first. Testing a sample tells you what you’re dealing with. From Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and corrugated roof sheets, we deal with soffit boards, black adhesive and flue pipes and more.
In places like Burwood Park, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Let us know what you want to do next
Avoid these

Please don’t take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.

Burwood Park questions
Is asbestos common in Burwood Park homes?
If your home in Burwood Park was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Burwood Park?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should I use a home testing kit?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Garage roof sheets
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Floor tiles

For businesses and landlords in Burwood Park
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Burwood Park must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
Roof felt and mastics
Some bitumen products contain asbestos.
