About our asbestos testing in Tottenham Hale
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, we deal with textured ceilings, flue pipes and soffit boards.
Properties in Tottenham Hale may have layers of past work, so testing what’s actually there matters. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Tottenham Hale questions
Do you work near Tottenham Hale station?
Yes. Tottenham Hale station is close to the centre of Tottenham Hale, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Tottenham Hale contain asbestos?
Any home in Tottenham Hale built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
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.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. If you’re unsure, ask us to take it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

After we’ve finished in Tottenham Hale
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we will explain what that involves.
Once we are done:
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Make the area easy to reach
- Group several materials into one visit
Don’ts
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
Duty holders and landlords in Tottenham Hale
If your business premises in Tottenham Hale were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
