About our asbestos testing in Stonebridge
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Whether it’s boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and one-off checks in rented property, we cover floor tiles, black adhesive and garage roof sheets.
In flats and conversions around Stonebridge, testing is often about one ceiling, one floor or a boiler cupboard before a refit, where a test is all that’s needed. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Stonebridge were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Stonebridge questions
Do older homes in Stonebridge have asbestos?
Any home in Stonebridge 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.
Do you cover Stonebridge and the area around Harlesden station?
Yes, we cover Stonebridge, including the streets around Harlesden station.
Do I need more than one sample?
Usually one for each different material, sometimes more. We will recommend a number once we know more.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What we deal with in Stonebridge
Testing can show a material doesn’t contain asbestos at all, so work can carry on normally.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- Answers trades need before starting
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- A material damaged during DIY
If you let flats near Harlesden station, a quick test between tenants is worth considering.

Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Approximate dimensions
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- How we’d reach it
- A picture of the whole area
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a picture
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
