About our asbestos testing in Tower Hill
Asbestos materials often look just like materials without it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, and that’s what we arrange in Tower Hill. People often contact us about garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and floor tiles and black adhesive, involving panels behind heaters, flue pipes and textured ceilings.
Village homes in places like Tower Hill often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Questions from Tower Hill
Do you come out to small villages like Tower Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Tower Hill and the area around Christs Hospital station?
Yes, we cover Tower Hill and the area towards Christs Hospital station, about 0.9 miles west.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
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.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Where asbestos turns up
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your options compared
Air tests are not the same as material tests. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
