Asbestos testing in Sewardstone
Asbestos testing near Sewardstone
Testing suits one or two specific materials. For larger projects in Sewardstone, a survey covers more, and we will tell you honestly which you need. From results builders ask for before work and a material damaged during DIY, we deal with flue pipes, black adhesive and panels behind heaters.
London homes like those in Sewardstone have often been refitted many times, so testing what’s actually there matters. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Sewardstone
Can you work in Sewardstone with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Could my house in Sewardstone contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sewardstone can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, as it means disturbing the material. We can do it for you.
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?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you test Artex in Sewardstone?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We’ll give you an idea when we book.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Duty holders and landlords in Sewardstone
For managing agents and freeholders in Sewardstone, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

If asbestos is found, we’ll explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
Once we’re done:
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and does not cover:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
