Asbestos testing in Broad Street
About our asbestos testing in Broad Street
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Broad Street? Testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you will know what precautions are needed. Typical jobs include checks before maintenance in rented homes and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, including garage roof sheets, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In a village like Broad Street, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What we do and don’t cover
Before you book, note that:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:

Your questions about asbestos testing in Broad Street
Do you cover Broad Street and the area around Doleham station?
Yes, we cover Broad Street and the area towards Doleham station, about 1.8 miles west.
Do you come out to small villages like Broad Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Which option is right?
A lab result is far more reliable than guessing from photos. Photos help us plan, but the lab gives the answer. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How we price asbestos testing
Our quotes take into account:
- Access to the area
- The building’s size and layout
- Travel and parking
- Which survey type fits your plans
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
Each job is priced individually. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.
What happens next
File the results with your house paperwork, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
Once we’re done:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Avoid these
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
