Materials, one by one
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. A test tells you which.
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough, from a discreet spot.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Aspley Guise
Do older homes in Aspley Guise have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Aspley Guise?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How long do test results take?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We will give you an idea when we book.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
