How asbestos testing works in Plaistow Green
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Plaistow Green use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. Whether it’s debris found after DIY and porch canopies, we deal with black adhesive, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In a village like Plaistow Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Questions from Plaistow Green
Do you cover small places like Plaistow Green?

How far is Plaistow Green from London?
Plaistow Green is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in Plaistow Green?

How long do test results take?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. We will give you an idea when we book the sampling.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Flues and tanks
Flues and tanks are often asbestos cement.
What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before booking:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Pipe lagging
- Bitumen adhesive

Not sure what you need? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form and describe the problem, and we will advise.
