  3. Our surveyor takes the samples
  4. The samples go to an accredited laboratory
  5. We explain what the result means for your plans

About our asbestos testing in North Hyde

A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. For larger projects in North Hyde, a survey covers more, and we’ll say which makes sense. From something broken during building work and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, we deal with black adhesive, flue pipes and garage roof sheets and more.

In towns and villages like North Hyde, we often test a single material in a flat before work, when a full survey would be more than you need. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

How to choose an asbestos contractor

DIY and asbestos

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

North Hyde questions

Do you cover North Hyde and the area around Southall station?

Yes. Southall station is about 1 mile north of North Hyde, and we cover both.

Do you work in North Hyde despite London parking restrictions?

Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

My sample contains asbestos. What now?

We will explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it or have it removed.

Do I need more than one sample?

Normally one per material, sometimes more. We will recommend a number once we know more.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Do you work in North Hyde?

We do: our area includes North Hyde and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.

Do you work on commercial premises?

We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

How can I get a price?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Afterwards

If no asbestos is found, work can typically go ahead normally, and you can show the result to your builder.

If asbestos stays in the building:

  • Photos of the material help us plan
  • Group several materials into one visit
  • Keep the results for future work or a sale
  • Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it

Don’ts

Please don’t take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.

For businesses and landlords in North Hyde

If you manage or own a block in North Hyde, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

What it might be made of

Boards and panels

Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. A test tells you which.

Floor tiles and adhesive

You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.

  • 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
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
