Asbestos testing across Buckinghamshire
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Typical jobs include single materials in rented homes between tenancies and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, including soffit boards, flue pipes and textured ceilings.
If we spot other materials that might contain asbestos, we will mention them, so you can decide whether to test them too.

Asbestos testing across Buckinghamshire
In Buckinghamshire, a quick test before a small job is common, in towns and villages alike. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Buckinghamshire, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common.
Aylesbury: If your home is one of the older properties in Aylesbury, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work. If you let property close to Aylesbury station, a single material can be tested between tenancies.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Your options compared
No one can confirm asbestos from a photo. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether extra samples cost more
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Travel and parking
- The number of materials to sample
- The type of survey you need
- How easy it is to reach
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Cracks or breaks
- How we’d reach it
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
Not sure what you need? Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
Materials we deal with
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so the result matters.
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof.
Duty holders and landlords in Buckinghamshire
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Buckinghamshire, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Common questions in Buckinghamshire
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
