Asbestos testing for New Addington
Asbestos testing in New Addington
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in New Addington use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. Typical materials include textured ceilings, floor tiles and soffit boards, and people typically contact us about one-off checks in rented property and results builders ask for before work.
In towns and villages like New Addington, we often test a single material in a flat before work, where a test is all that is needed. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

New Addington questions
Do you work near Hayes (Kent) station?
Yes. Hayes (Kent) station is about 2.6 miles north-east of New Addington, and we cover both.
Can you work in New Addington with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you test Artex in New Addington?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

How we price asbestos testing
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- Access to the area
- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
- Which survey type fits your plans
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- A picture of the whole area
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Your options compared
Home testing kits are available, but you have to disturb the material yourself to use one. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Every main survey type
Read how we price jobs or our cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What happens next
Keep the results with your property records, for future work or a sale.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
Things not to do
Please do not take your own sample.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
