Asbestos testing near New Malden
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos testing for New Malden properties
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Typical materials include soffit boards, floor tiles and garage roof sheets, and typical jobs are corrugated roof sheets and floor tiles and black adhesive.
London homes like those in New Malden have often been refitted many times, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

Which option is right?
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. Small jobs usually just need a test. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Where asbestos turns up
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples, since sampling disturbs the material.
These come up again and again:
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Debris found after DIY
- One-off checks in rented property
At a school like Christ Church New Malden CofE Primary School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.
Before booking anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- What the report or result will contain
For businesses and landlords in New Malden
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
