Asbestos testing in Broadland Row
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. From results builders ask for before work and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, we deal with flue pipes, black adhesive and panels behind heaters.

Common questions in Broadland Row
Do older homes in Broadland Row have asbestos?
If your home in Broadland Row was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Broadland Row?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need more than one sample?
Normally one per material, sometimes more. We will recommend a number once we know more.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
You’ll know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we’ll talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Common reasons for tests in Broadland Row
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so appearance and age aren’t enough.

- Garage roofs before replacement
- Soffit boards
- Answers trades need before starting
For older homes anywhere in Broadland Row, from near The Parish Church of St Mary outwards, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.
What your quote should include
- Areas included and excluded
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- VAT, clearly stated
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Choosing the right option
Air tests are not the same as material tests. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
