Asbestos help in Strawberry Hill
Asbestos testing in Strawberry Hill
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. We often deal with soffit boards, floor tiles and panels behind heaters, and people generally contact us about soffit boards and garage roofs before replacement.
London homes like those in Strawberry Hill have often been refitted many times, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What it might be made of
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. Testing identifies them.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, because results can differ.

Strawberry Hill questions
Could my house in Strawberry Hill contain asbestos?
If your home in Strawberry Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Strawberry Hill and the area around Strawberry Hill station?
Yes, we cover Strawberry Hill, including the streets around Strawberry Hill station.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How many samples will I need?
Normally one per material, sometimes more. Photos help us suggest a number.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Common reasons for tests in Strawberry Hill
A test can stop you paying for removal you do not need, so work can carry on normally.
These come up again and again:
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
Parents and staff at schools such as Kneller Hall Senior School can ask about the school’s asbestos management.
Questions to ask before you book
- The report contents
- If the price includes VAT
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
