Asbestos testing for Dane Hill properties
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? In Dane Hill, we take samples of suspect materials and send them to an accredited laboratory, so you have a written answer before any work starts. Whether it’s Artex before downlights or rewiring and checks before maintenance in rented homes, we cover black adhesive, textured ceilings and garage roof sheets.
Rural properties near Dane Hill may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- Material and condition
- How many outbuildings are included
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Street parking nearby
- A picture of the whole area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
To get a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
A closer look at the materials
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof.
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. A test tells you which.
After the job
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Group several materials into one visit
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
Don’ts
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
