Exton questions
Do you cover Exton from London?
Exton is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Exton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How long do test results take?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You will get an estimate when we quote.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we will explain what applies to your job.
Can I take a sample myself?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
How we price asbestos testing
We base our quote on:
- The quantity or area
- How much sampling is needed
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Parking and access charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- How we’d reach it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What happens
The sample point is sealed, leaving the material safe while you wait for the result. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- You get a quote for the samples needed
- Samples are taken with controls
- The laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the written result and our advice
Getting ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
Ask for a quote
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

After the job
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
Keeping things safe:
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Clear access to the area
Don’ts
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why people call us in Exton
Testing can show a material does not contain asbestos at all, so work can carry on normally.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Porch canopies
- Panels behind old heaters
- A material damaged during DIY
If you live in an older house in Exton, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.
What your quote should include
- Areas included and excluded
- If the price includes VAT
- How many samples are included
- Which areas and materials are covered
Your options compared
No one can confirm asbestos from a picture. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Recommendations in plain English
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Clear advice on your options
See how we quote or published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
