Asbestos testing for Clapham Junction
Asbestos testing near Clapham Junction
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. That’s safer than breaking off a piece yourself. We often deal with floor tiles, garage roof sheets and soffit boards, and people typically contact us about porch canopies and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In towns and villages like Clapham Junction, we often test a single material in a flat before work, where a test is all that’s needed. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Clapham Junction
Do you work in Clapham Junction despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Clapham Junction and the area around Clapham Junction station?
Yes, we cover Clapham Junction, including the streets around Clapham Junction station.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Do you work in Clapham Junction?
Yes, we do: our area includes Clapham Junction and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
How do I know if a material in Clapham Junction contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We sample it and have it analysed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
After the job
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
Don’ts
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.

Should you do it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
How we price asbestos testing
The cost depends on:
