About our asbestos testing in Curdridge
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Curdridge use testing before small jobs: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. Typical jobs include floor tiles and black adhesive and a material damaged during DIY, involving garage roof sheets, black adhesive and floor tiles.
Village homes in areas like Curdridge often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test them before they come up.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The survey type
- The number of materials to sample
- Travel and parking
- How big the building is
The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
- How we’d reach it
- A photo of the whole area
Every job is quoted in writing. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Which option is right?
Home testing kits are available, but you have to disturb the material yourself to use one. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Curdridge questions
Do you cover Curdridge from London?
We cover Curdridge, about 64 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Curdridge homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We will tell you if your job needs it.
What happens if the test is positive?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
After the job
File the results with your house paperwork, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Clear access to the area
Avoid these
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
