Asbestos testing near Fortis Green
Testing suits one or two specific materials. For larger projects in Fortis Green, a survey covers more, and we will tell you honestly which you need. From tiles found under carpet and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with garage roof sheets, flue pipes and panels behind heaters and more.
In flats and conversions around Fortis Green, testing is often about one ceiling, one floor or a boiler cupboard before a refit, where a test is all that is needed. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The scope of asbestos testing
Before booking, note that:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job

Your questions about asbestos testing in Fortis Green
Can you work in Fortis Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Fortis Green and the area around Alexandra Palace station?
Yes. Alexandra Palace station is about 1.4 miles east of Fortis Green, and we cover both.
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.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll suggest a number when we see the photos.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We sample it and have it analysed.
How long do test results take?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We’ll give you an idea when we book.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I get a quote?
