Asbestos testing near Bray Wick
You can’t tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, which is what our testing service in Bray Wick provides. Whether it’s lab results for contractors before they start and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, we cover textured ceilings, floor tiles and flue pipes and more.
Village homes in towns and villages like Bray Wick often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

A closer look at the materials
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How it works
The sample point is sealed, so it stays safe until the result arrives. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Get in touch with photos
- We check whether a test or a survey suits
- We visit and take the samples
- The samples go to an accredited laboratory
- We explain what the result means for your plans
Before we arrive
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Do not disturb the material before we get there

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
What to avoid
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
Test before you book the builders, so you can plan properly.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Bray Wick, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Bray Wick questions
Do you work near Maidenhead station?
Yes, we cover Bray Wick and the area towards Maidenhead station, about 1.4 miles north-west.
Do you cover Bray Wick from London?
Bray Wick is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
