How asbestos testing works in Cade Street
Sampling is done carefully: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Typical jobs include boiler cupboard panels and porch canopies, involving garage roof sheets, floor tiles and flue pipes.
Village homes in towns and villages like Cade Street often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Cade Street
Could my house in Cade Street contain asbestos?
Any home in Cade Street built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Cade Street from London?
We cover Cade Street, about 40 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
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 get in touch and we will advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
