We often deal with garage roof sheets, panels behind heaters and floor tiles, and typical jobs are checks before maintenance in rented homes and corrugated roof sheets.

FAQs for Stanmore
Is asbestos common in Stanmore homes?
Any home in Stanmore built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Stanmore from London?
We cover Stanmore, about 62 miles from central London.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We will tell you the expected timing when we quote.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

- Lab results for contractors before they start
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement

Schools such as Stanmore Primary School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.
