How we price asbestos testing
Prices vary with:

- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Location, parking and any London charges
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A picture of the whole area
- The parking area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An idea of size
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
The scope of asbestos testing
A few things to be aware of:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Soffit boards
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
- Panels behind heaters
- Bitumen adhesive
- Garage roof sheets
Common reasons for tests in Badger Farm
Testing can show a material doesn’t contain asbestos at all, so work can carry on normally.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Something broken during building work
- Tiles found under carpet
If you work at a school like Stanmore Primary School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.
Questions to ask before booking
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Badger Farm
How far is Badger Farm from London?
We cover Badger Farm, about 62 miles from central London.
Could my house in Badger Farm contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Badger Farm can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you cover Badger Farm?
We do: Badger Farm is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
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.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
What happens next
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
After we’ve finished:
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Clear access to the area
- Photos of the material help us plan
- File the result with your property paperwork
Avoid these
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
