Asbestos testing in SW18: what to expect
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? We sample suspect materials in SW18 and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. People often contact us about garage roofs before replacement and soffit boards, involving soffit boards, floor tiles and flue pipes.
If we spot other materials that might contain asbestos, we will mention them, so you can decide whether to test them too.

Testing materials in SW18
Across SW18, homeowners and landlords test single materials before small jobs, from Wimbledon, Clapham Junction and Battersea to its villages.
Wandsworth: Schools such as St Anne's CofE Primary School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works. For older homes anywhere in Wandsworth, from near St Anne's Church outwards, test any suspect materials before renovation.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
A closer look at the materials
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. Testing identifies them.
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
After the job
If asbestos is found, we’ll explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The survey type
- Material and condition
- The building’s size and layout
- How many different materials need sampling
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Damaged areas
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
SW18: your questions answered
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
