Our asbestos testing in CR2
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in CR2? Testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. People often contact us about floor tiles and black adhesive and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, involving textured ceilings, panels behind heaters and floor tiles.
Each sample is small, sealed in a bag, labelled and logged, then go off to the lab.
- Describe the material and send a photo
- We quote for the samples needed
- Each sample is taken carefully and sealed
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
Cost
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Work done to the regulations

Asbestos testing across CR2
Testing across CR2 covers Croydon, Purley and Waddon and 3 villages and hamlets. Artex, floor tiles and garage roofs come up most.
South Croydon: If your home is one of the older properties in South Croydon, near Church of St Augustine or elsewhere, get suspect materials tested before you start. At a school like Purley Oaks Primary School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.
Why people call us in CR2
The risk typically comes from drilling or sanding something nobody had tested. Testing first avoids that.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- Soffit boards
- Something broken during building work
Options to consider in CR2
A test or a full survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. Small jobs usually just need a test.
What to look for in a quote
- The number of samples
- What you’ll receive in writing
- Areas included and excluded
- Whether VAT is included
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it does not:
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
Materials, one by one
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. Testing identifies them.
Flues and tanks
Flues and tanks are often asbestos cement.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Common questions in CR2
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work in CR2?
We do: our area includes CR2 and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
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.
