About our asbestos testing in Grange Park
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Grange Park, stop and keep people away from it. Testing a sample tells you what you’re dealing with, and what to do next. From Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and a material damaged during DIY, we cover garage roof sheets, textured ceilings and panels behind heaters and more.
Properties in Grange Park may have layers of past work, so testing what’s actually there matters. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles
- Water tanks
- Panels behind heaters
- Roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Soffit boards
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Bitumen adhesive
- Garage roof sheets
Afterwards
We seal the sample point when sampling, so it’s safe while you wait.
Some practical advice:
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Make the area easy to reach
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Things not to do
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not try to clean it up.
Please don’t take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
What we deal with in Grange Park
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so appearance and age are not enough.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Results builders ask for before work
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Soffit boards
At a school like Grange Park Primary School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.
What your quote should include
- How many samples are included
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
- VAT, clearly stated
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
FAQs for Grange Park
Can you work in Grange Park with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Grange Park contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Grange Park may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
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.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
