About our asbestos testing in Burley
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Burley? Testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. We often deal with flue pipes, black adhesive and garage roof sheets, and typical jobs are answers trades need before starting and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Burley, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Helpful guides
Your questions about asbestos testing in Burley
Do you come out to small villages like Burley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Sway station?
Yes. Sway station is about 5 miles south-east of Burley, and we cover both.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Which option is right?
A test or a full survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Where asbestos turns up
The risk usually comes from drilling or sanding something nobody had tested. A test beforehand prevents it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Panels behind old heaters
If you work at a school like Burley Primary School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.
