Asbestos testing for Bradville properties
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. We often deal with black adhesive, textured ceilings and floor tiles, and people typically contact us about soffit boards and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down.
In a smaller place like Bradville, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. A test tells you which.
After we’ve finished in Bradville
You get a written laboratory result for each sample, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Some practical advice:
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
Things not to do
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.

The scope of asbestos testing
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and does not cover:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Water tanks
- Bitumen adhesive
- Floor tiles
- Panels behind heaters
- Flue pipes
- Soffit boards
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Garage roof sheets
- Pipe lagging
Bradville: your questions answered
Do you cover Bradville from London?
We cover Bradville, about 49 miles from central London.
Could my house in Bradville contain asbestos?
If your home in Bradville was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. We can take it for you.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How long do test results take?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
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.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bradville must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Common reasons for tests in Bradville
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, since sampling disturbs the material.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Debris found after DIY
- Results builders ask for before work
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
For rented homes around Wolverton station, testing before work avoids delays.
