Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work

Questions from TW16
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
How do I know if a material in TW16 contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
What happens if the test is positive?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
