Asbestos testing for Axmansford properties
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Typical jobs include a material damaged during DIY and porch canopies, including garage roof sheets, black adhesive and panels behind heaters.
In a village like Axmansford, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Testing does not look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

What happens next
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we will explain what happens then.
Keeping things safe:
- Group several materials into one visit
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
What to avoid
Please don’t take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How big the building is
- Travel and parking
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Your questions about asbestos testing in Axmansford
Do you cover Axmansford and the area around Midgham station?
Yes. Midgham station is about 3.4 miles north of Axmansford, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Axmansford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
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 quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
For businesses and landlords in Axmansford
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Axmansford, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
How we work
If we see anything else suspicious, we’ll tell you, so you can decide whether to test them too. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What we deal with in Axmansford
Textured coatings, floor tiles, cement sheets and boards can all look the same with or without asbestos, so you cannot go by looks or age alone.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Panels behind old heaters
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Tiles found under carpet
- Porch canopies
For an older property in Axmansford, whether near Church of St Stephen or not, test any suspect materials before renovation.

- What you will receive in writing
- Whether extra samples cost more
- If the price includes VAT
