Asbestos testing in Broughton
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Broughton use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. From panels behind old heaters and one-off checks in rented property, we deal with black adhesive, garage roof sheets and floor tiles and more.
In places like Broughton, we’re often asked to test garage and shed roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Broughton
Do you cover Broughton from London?
We cover Broughton, about 37 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Broughton have asbestos?
If your home in Broughton 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.
What happens if the test is positive?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
For businesses and landlords in Broughton
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After the job
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Photos of the material help us plan
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Don’ts
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Typical tests in Broughton
Most exposure happens when someone disturbs a material without knowing it contains asbestos. A test beforehand prevents it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Results builders ask for before work
If you let flats near Aylesbury station, a quick test between tenants is worth considering.
