Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Duty holders and landlords in North Wembley
If you manage or own a block in North Wembley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Typical tests in North Wembley
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may have it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- A material damaged during DIY
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- One-off checks in rented property
For older homes anywhere in North Wembley, from near Church of St John outwards, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.

Questions from North Wembley
Do you work near Wembley Central station?
Yes, we cover North Wembley, including the streets around Wembley Central station.
Could my house in North Wembley contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in North Wembley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need more than one sample?
Typically one for each different material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. Photos help us suggest a number.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We’ll tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Your options compared
One sample or several? Different materials, and sometimes the same material in different places, need separate samples. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
