Asbestos testing for Dancers Hill
Asbestos testing for Dancers Hill properties
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You’ll learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain your options. Whether it’s porch canopies and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we deal with floor tiles, panels behind heaters and flue pipes.
In places like Dancers Hill, we often test a single material in a flat before work, when a full survey would be more than you need. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Dancers Hill questions
Do you work in Dancers Hill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Potters Bar station?
Yes, we cover Dancers Hill and the area towards Potters Bar station, about 1.5 miles north-east.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Places near Dancers Hill
What else we do in Dancers Hill
Duty holders and landlords in Dancers Hill
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.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What we deal with in Dancers Hill
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples, since sampling disturbs the material.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Answers trades need before starting
- A material damaged during DIY
- One-off checks in rented property
If you work at a school like Dame Alice Owen's School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.
Questions to ask before booking
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What the report or result will contain
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The scope of the job, in writing
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials in Dancers Hill
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Panels behind heaters

What it might be made of

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
How we price asbestos testing
What drives the price:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The size and age of the building
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
