How asbestos testing works in Feltham
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? In Feltham, we take samples of suspect materials and send them to an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Typical jobs include a material damaged during DIY and tiles found under carpet, involving garage roof sheets, soffit boards and black adhesive.
London homes like those in Feltham have often been refitted many times, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test them before they come up.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- The survey type
- The building’s size and layout
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A picture of the whole area
- An idea of size
Not sure what you need? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the results with your property records, for future work or a sale.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
Things not to do
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Test before booking the builders, so there is no delay later.
Feltham questions
Can you work in Feltham with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Could my house in Feltham contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Feltham can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
