North Brixton: your questions answered
Can you work in North Brixton 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.
Is asbestos common in North Brixton homes?
If your home in North Brixton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How many samples will I need?
Typically one per material, sometimes more. We’ll advise when you tell us what you are testing.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
When will I get the result?
That depends on the laboratory. We’ll give you an idea when we book the sampling.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Flue pipes
- Pipe lagging
- Soffit boards
- Garage roof sheets
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
- Bitumen adhesive
- Roof felt
Choosing the right option
Air tests are not the same as material tests. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why people choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Clear next steps
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
Take a look at our prices page or published price ranges.
What happens next
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we’ll explain what that involves.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Group several materials into one visit
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Make the area easy to reach
- Tell us what work you are planning
Avoid these
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
