Asbestos testing near Roehampton
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Roehampton use testing before small jobs: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. Typical jobs include soffits and porch canopies before replacement and textured ceilings before a renovation, involving floor tiles, soffit boards and garage roof sheets.
London homes like those in Roehampton have often been refitted many times, so testing what’s actually there matters. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. Testing identifies them.
What affects the price in Roehampton
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- Material and condition
- The survey type
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The building’s size and layout
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
- A photo of the whole area
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Afterwards
Keep the results with your property records, for future work or a sale.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Clear access to the area
- Group several materials into one visit
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Don’ts
Please don’t take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Your questions about asbestos testing in Roehampton
Could my house in Roehampton contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Roehampton despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you test Artex in Roehampton?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
What happens if the test is positive?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
