Asbestos testing near Hyde Park 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. People often contact us about soffit boards and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, including floor tiles, flue pipes and garage roof sheets.
Properties in Hyde Park Estate may have layers of past work, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Hyde Park Estate
Could my house in Hyde Park Estate contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Hyde Park Estate despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We will tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
