W6: testing for homes and workplaces
In W6, a quick test before a small job is common, from Fulham, Hammersmith and Brackenbury Village to its villages.
Hammersmith: If you are a letting agent with homes near Kensington Olympia station, a single material can be tested between tenancies. For an older property in Hammersmith, whether near Church of the Holy Innocents or not, a quick test before work is sensible.
How we price asbestos testing
We base our quote on:
- What the material is and its state
- How big the building is
- The number of materials to sample
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An idea of size
- The access route
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view
You will get a written quote. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may have it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- A material damaged during DIY
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Boiler cupboard panels
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
Choosing the right option
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning.

W6: your questions answered
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do you work in W6?
We do: W6 is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Do you test textured ceilings?
We do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
