Asbestos testing in Perivale
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Perivale you are not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you’ll know what precautions are needed. Whether it’s textured ceilings before a renovation and one-off checks in rented property, we cover textured ceilings, garage roof sheets and flue pipes.
Properties in Perivale may have layers of past work, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Duty holders and landlords in Perivale
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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Materials we deal with
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. Testing identifies them.
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Bitumen adhesive
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Pipe lagging
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
Afterwards
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Let us know what you want to do next
- File the result with your property paperwork
What to avoid
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.

Doing it yourself?
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Questions from Perivale
Do you work near South Greenford station?
Yes. South Greenford station is about 0.8 miles south-west of Perivale, and we cover both.
Can you work in Perivale with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Should I use a home testing kit?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, as it means disturbing the material. We can do it for you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What happens if the test is positive?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
