Asbestos testing for Hanworth
Asbestos testing for Hanworth properties
A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials. If you’re planning bigger work in Hanworth, a survey of the areas affected is typically better, and we will tell you honestly which you need. Typical materials include textured ceilings, flue pipes and black adhesive, and people normally contact us about lab results for contractors before they start and checks before maintenance in rented homes.
Properties in Hanworth may have layers of past work, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Hanworth
Do you work near Hampton station?
Yes. Hampton station is about 1.1 miles south of Hanworth, and we cover both.
Can you work in Hanworth with London’s parking rules?
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 I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we will explain what applies to your job.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

What we deal with in Hanworth
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may have it.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- One-off checks in rented property
- Panels behind old heaters
- Soffit boards
For older homes anywhere in Hanworth, from near St Richard's Church outwards, test any suspect materials before renovation.
Before you book anyone
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
What happens next
If asbestos is found, we’ll explain your options: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
After we have finished:
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Photos of the material help us plan
- File the result with your property paperwork
What to avoid
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Please don’t take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Options to consider in Hanworth
No one can confirm asbestos from a picture. Photos help us plan, but the lab gives the answer. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
