Your questions about asbestos testing in South Kenton
Do you work in South Kenton despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near South Kenton station?
Yes. South Kenton station is close to the centre of South Kenton, and we cover the whole area.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Which option is right?
Testing before work generally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Common reasons for tests in South Kenton
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
If your home is one of the older properties in South Kenton, near Church of the Annunciation or elsewhere, test any suspect materials before renovation.
