Choosing the right option
No one can confirm asbestos from a picture. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- The right survey for your plans
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- Testing does not look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Panels behind heaters
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
- Water tanks
- Bitumen adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Pipe lagging

After the job
If asbestos is found, we’ll explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Photos of the material help us plan
Things not to do
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- The building’s size and layout
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Street parking nearby
- A photo of the whole area
- How we’d reach it
- Labels, if any

Where asbestos turns up
Many trades will not touch older ceilings or floors without a test, and a lab result is what they’re after.
In older properties, we often see:
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Something broken during building work
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Porch canopies
For properties on main roads such as the A4095, let us know where we can park.

Helpful guides
Your questions about asbestos testing in Bure Park
Do older homes in Bure Park have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bure Park can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Bure Park from London?
We cover Bure Park, about 54 miles from central London.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you test textured ceilings?
We do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
