Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings, floor tiles, cement sheets and boards can all look the same with or without asbestos, so you can’t go by looks or age alone.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Porch canopies
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
For an older property in Emerson Park, whether near All Saints or not, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Emerson Park were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
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.
A closer look at the materials
Flues and tanks
A test before removal is a good idea.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
Emerson Park: your questions answered
Can you work in Emerson Park with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Emerson Park contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. 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. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
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 are testing.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- How big the building is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
