About our asbestos testing in Edmonton
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? We sample suspect materials in Edmonton and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you have a written answer before any work starts. People often contact us about panels behind old heaters and a material damaged during DIY, involving black adhesive, textured ceilings and soffit boards.
In flats and conversions around Edmonton, testing is often about one ceiling, one floor or a boiler cupboard before a refit, where a test is all that is needed. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials in Edmonton
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen adhesive
- Water tanks
- Panels behind heaters
- Floor tiles
- Soffit boards
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Garage roof sheets
- Roof felt
- Pipe lagging
After the job
If asbestos is found, we will explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Test everything you are worried about at once
Things not to do
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Duty holders and landlords in Edmonton
For managing agents and freeholders in Edmonton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Your options compared
One sample or several? Different materials, and sometimes the same material in different places, need separate samples. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Clear advice on your options
- Accredited laboratory results
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

How we price asbestos testing
Our quotes take into account:
- How much there is
- The building’s size and layout
- Access to the area
- How much sampling is needed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Edmonton
Can you work in Edmonton with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you work near Edmonton Green station?
Yes. Edmonton Green station is close to the centre of Edmonton, and we cover the whole area.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
We don’t carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
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.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
When will I get the result?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We’ll tell you the expected timing when we quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
