Common materials are flue pipes, garage roof sheets and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are Artex before downlights or rewiring and something broken during building work.

Should you do it yourself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Duty holders and landlords in Grove Park

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Looking after things afterwards

You get a written laboratory result for each sample, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.

If asbestos stays in the building:

Tell us what work you’re planning
Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
Make the area easy to reach
Do not touch it before we arrive

What to avoid

If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.

Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.

Materials we deal with

Cement sheets

Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

Floor tiles and adhesive

You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test them before they come up.

What happens

Taking a sample is normally quick; the laboratory analysis takes longer. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.

Send us photos of the material
We confirm a test is the right choice, rather than a survey
Our surveyor takes the samples

Your questions about asbestos testing in Grove Park

Could my house in Grove Park contain asbestos?

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work near Chiswick station?

Yes, we cover Grove Park, including the streets around Chiswick station.

Do you do air testing?

We don’t carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We will tell you if your job needs it.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

When can you start?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.

What if my house is newer?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

How do I know if a material in Grove Park contains asbestos?

Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
