Asbestos testing for Lampton properties
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Lampton, stop and keep people away from it. Testing a sample tells you what you’re dealing with. People often contact us about old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and porch canopies, involving panels behind heaters, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In areas like Lampton, we often test a single material in a flat before work, where a test is all that is needed. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Looking after things afterwards
If no asbestos is found, work can usually go ahead normally, and you can show the result to your builder.
Some practical advice:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- File the result with your property paperwork
Avoid these
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not try to clean it up.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Weighing up your options
How many samples? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Lampton: your questions answered
Do you work near Hounslow station?
Yes. Hounslow station is about 0.9 miles south of Lampton, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Lampton homes?
If your home in Lampton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We will advise when you tell us what you are testing.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
