FAQs for Warner Estate
Do you work in Warner Estate despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Warner Estate have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We will tell you if your job needs it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Typical tests in Warner Estate

These come up again and again:
- Debris found after DIY
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Soffit boards
- Garage roofs before replacement
On busy roads like the A112, parking can be tricky, so mention it when you get in touch.

Looking after things afterwards
Each sample gets a written result, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
Once we are done:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Let us know what you want to do next
What to avoid
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
Please do not take your own sample.
For businesses and landlords in Warner Estate
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Warner Estate, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
The scope of asbestos testing
The usual limits are:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
