Asbestos testing in Middle Park
About our asbestos testing in Middle Park
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You will learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain what that means for your plans in Middle Park. Typical jobs include textured ceilings before a renovation and results builders ask for before work, involving textured ceilings, soffit boards and flue pipes.
Properties in Middle Park may have layers of past work, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. We only recommend work that is needed.

Which option is right?
Testing before work usually costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

- A clear close-up
- An overall view

Common questions in Middle Park
Do you work in Middle Park despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Middle Park homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We will tell you if your job needs it.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How we work
Each sample is small, sealed in a bag, labelled and logged, then go off to the lab. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

- We visit and take the samples

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may have it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Middle Park:
- One-off checks in rented property
- A material damaged during DIY
- Soffit boards
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
Parents and staff at schools such as Middle Park Primary School can ask about the school’s asbestos management.
What your quote should include

Duty holders and landlords in Middle Park
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
