About our asbestos testing in Felderland
A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Felderland, a survey covers more, and we will say which makes sense. Typical materials include flue pipes, panels behind heaters and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are panels behind old heaters and a material damaged during DIY.
In a village like Felderland, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Felderland
Do you cover Felderland from London?
We cover Felderland, about 64 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Felderland homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What happens if the test is positive?
You’ll 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.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You can’t tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
