Asbestos testing for Fenny Stratford properties

Which option is right?
A test or a full survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. Small jobs generally just need a test. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Looking after things afterwards
Each sample gets a written result, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Group several materials into one visit
- Make the area easy to reach
- File the result with your property paperwork
Avoid these
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning

Common questions in Fenny Stratford
Do you cover Fenny Stratford and the area around Fenny Stratford station?
Yes, we cover Fenny Stratford, including the streets around Fenny Stratford station.
Do older homes in Fenny Stratford have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
How do I know if a material in Fenny Stratford contains asbestos?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
