Asbestos testing for West Brompton properties
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in West Brompton, stop and keep people away from it. A test will show whether it contains asbestos, and what to do next. Whether it’s corrugated roof sheets and one-off checks in rented property, we deal with panels behind heaters, soffit boards and garage roof sheets and more.
Properties in West Brompton may have layers of past work, so a material that looks modern can sit on top of something older. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Looking after things afterwards
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we will explain what that involves.

- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
Don’ts
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.

West Brompton questions
Can you work in West Brompton with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in West Brompton contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in West Brompton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Just 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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work in West Brompton?
Yes, West Brompton is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Materials, one by one
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Your options compared
