About asbestos testing in SE15
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. You’ll learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain your options. Typical jobs include a material damaged during DIY and results builders ask for before work, involving garage roof sheets, textured ceilings and black adhesive.
If we see anything else suspicious, we’ll tell you, so you can decide whether to test them too.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough, from a discreet spot.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
Options to consider in SE15
Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples.
Questions to ask before booking
- The number of samples
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
What we do and do not cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in SE15, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

FAQs for SE15
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you test Artex in SE15?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
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 help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
