Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we deal with
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
What happens next
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal.
After we’ve finished:
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Make the area easy to reach
What to avoid
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
How we price asbestos testing
The cost depends on:
- The type of survey you need
- The type of material and its condition
- How many outbuildings are included
- The number of materials to sample
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- An overall view
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
