Options to consider in Boundstone
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you are worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs generally just need a test. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- The right survey for your plans
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear written quotes

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos testing:
- The size and age of the building
- The survey type
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much sampling is needed
The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- A picture of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A rough size or measurement
Each job is priced individually. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
For businesses and landlords in Boundstone
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
After we have finished in Boundstone
If asbestos is found, we’ll explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Group several materials into one visit
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Clear access to the area
What to avoid
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.

Where asbestos turns up

You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Porch canopies
- A material damaged during DIY
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down

For an older property in Boundstone, whether near St Timothy or not, a quick test before work is sensible.
