How asbestos testing works in Motspur Park
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Motspur Park, stop and keep people away from it. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with. Whether it’s corrugated roof sheets and checks before maintenance in rented homes, we deal with flue pipes, black adhesive and garage roof sheets and more.
In towns and villages like Motspur Park, we often test a single material in a flat before work, where a test is all that is needed. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Motspur Park
Can you work in Motspur Park with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Could my house in Motspur Park contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Motspur Park can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we’ll talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need more than one sample?
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’re testing.
Can you test Artex in Motspur Park?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
What we deal with in Motspur Park
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Something broken during building work
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
For an older property in Motspur Park, whether near Christ Church New Malden or not, test any suspect materials before renovation.
What your quote should include
- The number of samples
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Looking after things afterwards
File the results with your house paperwork, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
To avoid problems in future:
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
Avoid these
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Test before booking the builders, so you can plan properly.
