How asbestos testing works in Bedgrove
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Bedgrove, stop and keep people away from it. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with, and what to do next. Whether it’s garage roofs before replacement and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, we cover black adhesive, flue pipes and garage roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Bedgrove, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

What it costs
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The type of material and its condition
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt and mastics
Some bitumen products contain asbestos.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Afterwards
File the results with your house paperwork, for future work or a sale.
After we have finished:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Tell us what work you are planning
Don’ts
Do not break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Choosing the right option
One sample or several? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Work done to the regulations
- The right survey for your plans
- Condition ratings, not just a list
Take a look at how we price jobs and our cost guide.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Flue pipes
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks

- Tell us what you want testing and where
- We agree the number of samples and send a quote
- We take each sample safely and seal it
- An accredited lab analyses them
- You get the written result and our advice
How to prepare
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
