Asbestos testing in Bullingstone
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. You will learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we’ll explain what that means for your plans in Bullingstone. Whether it’s floor tiles and black adhesive and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, we deal with textured ceilings, black adhesive and floor tiles.
Rural properties near Bullingstone may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your options compared
Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Questions from Bullingstone
How far is Bullingstone from London?
We cover Bullingstone, about 28 miles from central London.
Could my house in Bullingstone contain asbestos?
If your home in Bullingstone was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you test Artex in Bullingstone?
We do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
