How asbestos testing works in Angell Town
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we will explain your options. From panels behind old heaters and a material damaged during DIY, we deal with black adhesive, panels behind heaters and soffit boards.
In places like Angell Town, we often test a single material in a flat before work, when a full survey would be more than you need. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Angell Town, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After we’ve finished in Angell Town
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
Going forward:
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Clear access to the area
What to avoid
Please do not take your own sample.
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Materials we deal with
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. Testing identifies them.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How it works
If we spot other materials that might contain asbestos, we’ll mention them, in case you want them tested as well. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- We quote for the samples needed
- Each sample is taken carefully and sealed
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
Before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the way to the work area

Common questions in Angell Town
Do you cover Angell Town and the area around Loughborough Junction station?
Yes. Loughborough Junction station is close to the centre of Angell Town, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Angell Town have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Angell Town can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We sample it and have it analysed.
Can you test Artex in Angell Town?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
We do not carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. Ask and we will explain.

- Corrugated roof sheets
- Soffit boards
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit

What to look for in a quote
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The scope, in writing
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
