About our asbestos testing in Upper Farringdon
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Upper Farringdon, stop and keep people away from it. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with, and what to do next. From one-off checks in rented property and porch canopies, we deal with soffit boards, flue pipes and garage roof sheets.
Village homes in towns and villages like Upper Farringdon often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Upper Farringdon: your questions answered
Do you cover Upper Farringdon and the area around Alton station?
Yes, we cover Upper Farringdon and the area towards Alton station, about 2.8 miles north.
Do older homes in Upper Farringdon have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
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?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Worth knowing before you book:
