Asbestos testing near Wimbledon Park
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, which is what our testing service in Wimbledon Park provides. We often deal with black adhesive, floor tiles and soffit boards, and people normally contact us about one-off checks in rented property and debris found after DIY.
Properties in Wimbledon Park may have layers of past work, so testing what’s actually there matters. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What happens next
If no asbestos is found, work can typically go ahead normally, and you can show the result to your builder.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us what work you are planning
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
Things not to do
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The scope of asbestos testing
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Panels behind heaters
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles
- Soffit boards
- Water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen adhesive
- Roof felt
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Is asbestos common in Wimbledon Park homes?
If your home in Wimbledon Park was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
When will I get the result?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You will get an estimate when we quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Typical tests in Wimbledon Park
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Results builders ask for before work
If you let flats near Earlsfield station, a quick test between tenants is worth considering.
