Asbestos testing near Maze Hill
Maze Hill questions
Could my house in Maze Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Maze Hill may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Maze Hill despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. If you are unsure, ask us to take it.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How asbestos testing works in Maze Hill
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Maze Hill you’re not sure about, testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. People often contact us about garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and checks before maintenance in rented homes, including flue pipes, black adhesive and soffit boards.
Properties in Maze Hill may have layers of past work, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so materials in homes and buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- A material damaged during DIY
Schools such as John Roan School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.
Before you book anyone
