Looking after things afterwards
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
What to avoid
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself.
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
How asbestos testing works in Battramsley
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. Typical jobs include something broken during building work and Artex before downlights or rewiring, including garage roof sheets, floor tiles and flue pipes.
Rural properties near Battramsley may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Battramsley questions
Do you come out to small villages like Battramsley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Battramsley and the area around Sway station?
Yes. Sway station is about 2 miles west of Battramsley, and we cover both.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need more than one sample?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll advise when you tell us what you’re testing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How big the building is
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A clear close-up
- Where we could park
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
