How asbestos testing works in Carpenders Park
Asbestos testing tells you whether a specific material contains asbestos We sample suspect materials in Carpenders Park and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Typical materials include garage roof sheets, flue pipes and soffit boards, and people usually contact us about corrugated roof sheets and panels behind old heaters.

Questions from Carpenders Park
Can you work in Carpenders Park with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do older homes in Carpenders Park have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Carpenders Park may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
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.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll advise when you tell us what you’re testing.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
