About our asbestos testing in Spring Park
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, which is what our testing service in Spring Park provides. Typical materials include black adhesive, soffit boards and textured ceilings, and people typically contact us about single materials in rented homes between tenancies and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In flats and conversions around Spring Park, testing is often about one ceiling, one floor or a boiler cupboard before a refit, when a full survey would be more than you need. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What we deal with in Spring Park
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may have it.
These come up again and again:
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Garage roofs before replacement
Parents and staff at schools such as Forest Academy can ask about the school’s asbestos management.

Spring Park: your questions answered
Can you work in Spring Park with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near West Wickham station?
Yes. West Wickham station is about 0.8 miles north-east of Spring Park, and we cover both.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you cover Spring Park?
We do: our area includes Spring Park and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Going forward:
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Clear access to the area
Things not to do
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
The process
We use the right protective equipment and keep people away while sampling, however small the job. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- We quote for the samples needed
- We take each sample with wetting and controls, and seal it
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
How to get a quote
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Soffit boards
- Bitumen adhesive
- Floor tiles
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Garage roof sheets
- Pipe lagging
- Roof felt
- Panels behind heaters
Which option is right?
No one can confirm asbestos from a picture. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Condition assessed for every material
- Every main survey type
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Clear next steps
