Common questions in North Camp
Do you work near North Camp station?
Yes, we cover North Camp and the area towards North Camp station, about 0.9 miles east.
Do you cover North Camp from London?
We cover North Camp, about 32 miles from central London.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Can you test Artex in North Camp?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
About our asbestos testing in North Camp
Before small jobs in North Camp, people often test first: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. Whether it’s boiler cupboard panels and something broken during building work, we deal with flue pipes, panels behind heaters and soffit boards.
Properties in North Camp with outbuildings often have cement sheet roofs that are worth testing before repair. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Why people call us in North Camp

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- A material damaged during DIY
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down

What to look for in a quote
- The scope, in writing
- The number of samples
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Whether VAT is included
Options to consider in North Camp
You can buy home testing kits, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Practical recommendations
- Work done to the regulations

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, 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.
