Asbestos testing near Bramley
If something has been damaged during work in Bramley, stop first. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with, and what to do next. Typical materials include soffit boards, garage roof sheets and panels behind heaters, and people normally contact us about single materials in rented homes between tenancies and a material damaged during DIY.
In a smaller place like Bramley, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough, from a discreet spot.
Your options compared
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you’re worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. For small jobs a test is often enough. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

How far is Bramley from London?

Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. If you are unsure, ask us to take it.
