Asbestos testing in Enfield Chase
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Enfield Chase you’re not sure about, testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you’ll know what precautions are needed. Whether it’s something broken during building work and Artex before downlights or rewiring, we cover floor tiles, soffit boards and panels behind heaters.
London homes like those in Enfield Chase have often been refitted many times, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Enfield Chase
Do you cover Enfield Chase and the area around Enfield Chase station?
Yes, we cover Enfield Chase, including the streets around Enfield Chase station.
Is asbestos common in Enfield Chase homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
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.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
