Asbestos testing in Fulham
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Fulham use testing before small jobs: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. From debris found after DIY and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, we cover panels behind heaters, textured ceilings and soffit boards.
In areas like Fulham, we often test a single material in a flat before work, where a test is all that’s needed. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Helpful guides
Fulham questions
Is asbestos common in Fulham homes?
Any home in Fulham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near West Brompton station?
Yes, we cover Fulham and the area towards West Brompton station, about 0.8 miles north-east.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Fulham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it might be made of
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Which option is right?
Home testing kits are available, but you have to disturb the material yourself to use one. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After we’ve finished in Fulham
Each sample gets a written result, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
Once we’re done:
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Make the area easy to reach
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
Avoid these
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
