About our asbestos testing in Chadlington
A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Chadlington, a survey covers more, and we’ll tell you honestly which you need. People often contact us about debris found after DIY and soffit boards, involving soffit boards, floor tiles and black adhesive.
Rural properties near Chadlington may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Weighing up your options
A lab result is far more reliable than guessing from photos. Photos help us plan, but the lab gives the answer. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What you get
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Work done to the regulations
- Records for your files
- Domestic and commercial work

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos

Your questions about asbestos testing in Chadlington
Do you cover Chadlington and the area around Charlbury station?
Yes. Charlbury station is about 2.4 miles south-east of Chadlington, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Chadlington have asbestos?
If your home in Chadlington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How many samples will I need?
Normally one per material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. Photos help us suggest a number.
What happens if the test is positive?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we’ll talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work in Chadlington?
We do: our area includes Chadlington and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.

What else we do in Chadlington
What it might be made of
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The size and age of the building
- How much there is
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The access route
- An overall view
- Damaged areas
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
After the job
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will typically be licensed, and we will explain what happens then.
Going forward:
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Group several materials into one visit
Avoid these
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
