Need asbestos testing in Hyde farm estate?
Asbestos testing near Hyde farm estate
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Whether it’s garage roofs before replacement and Artex before downlights or rewiring, we deal with textured ceilings, flue pipes and panels behind heaters and more.
In flats and conversions around Hyde farm estate, testing is often about one ceiling, one floor or a boiler cupboard before a refit, when a full survey would be more than you need. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Hyde farm estate
Is asbestos common in Hyde farm estate homes?
Any home in Hyde farm estate built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Hyde farm estate and the area around Balham station?
Yes, we cover Hyde farm estate and the area towards Balham station, about 0.5 miles west.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
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. We will tell you if your job needs it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
