What affects the price in N16
When we quote, we look at:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey type
- The type of material and its condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Labels, if any
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
For businesses and landlords in N16
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If your business premises in N16 were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, because results can differ.
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Weighing up your options
One sample or several? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples.
Before booking anyone
- The report contents
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
Your questions about asbestos testing in N16
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
