Asbestos testing near Grahame Park
What happens next
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will usually be licensed, and we will explain what that involves.
Once we’re done:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Clear access to the area
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
Don’ts
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Asbestos testing near Grahame Park
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Grahame Park you’re not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Common materials are floor tiles, flue pipes and panels behind heaters, and typical jobs are boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and Artex before downlights or rewiring.
In places like Grahame Park, we often test a single material in a flat before work, where a test is all that is needed. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Grahame Park questions
Do you work in Grahame Park despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes. Mill Hill Broadway station is about 0.9 miles north of Grahame Park, and we cover both.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask and we will explain.
How long do test results take?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. We will give you an idea when we book the sampling.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it might be made of
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so the result matters.
