About our asbestos testing in Crooked Billet
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Crooked Billet? Testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. People often contact us about old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and answers trades need before starting, involving floor tiles, garage roof sheets and textured ceilings.
In flats and conversions around Crooked Billet, testing is often about one ceiling, one floor or a boiler cupboard before a refit, when a full survey would be more than you need. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Questions from Crooked Billet
Can you work in Crooked Billet with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you cover Crooked Billet and the area around Raynes Park station?
Yes. Raynes Park station is about 0.9 miles south of Crooked Billet, and we cover both.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. We will tell you whether you need it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Looking after things afterwards
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we’ll explain what that involves.
A few practical points:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Group several materials into one visit
Avoid these
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
