Asbestos testing in St Ann's
Testing suits one or two specific materials. For larger projects in St Ann's, a survey covers more, and we will tell you honestly which you need. Whether it’s corrugated roof sheets and textured ceilings before a renovation, we cover black adhesive, floor tiles and garage roof sheets.
Properties in St Ann's may have layers of past work, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
What happens next
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Going forward:
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Make the area easy to reach
What to avoid
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Test before booking the builders, so there’s no delay later.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
How we work
We seal the sample point with a suitable sealant or tape, leaving the material safe while you wait for the result. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Tell us what the material is, where it is, and send a photo if you can
- We agree how many samples are needed and send a quote
- Each sample is taken carefully and sealed
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the result and explain your options
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Your questions about asbestos testing in St Ann's
Can you work in St Ann's 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 St Ann's contain asbestos?
If your home in St Ann's was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How long do test results take?
Timing depends on the lab. We will give you an idea when we book.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Options to consider in St Ann's
You can buy home testing kits, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Work done to the regulations
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Practical recommendations
- Clear written quotes
