Asbestos testing near Godden Green

Sampling is done carefully: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. It’s safer than DIY sampling. From soffit boards and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, we cover panels behind heaters, textured ceilings and black adhesive and more.

In a village like Godden Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Materials we deal with

Flues and tanks

Flues and tanks are often asbestos cement.

Felt can be tested before re-roofing.

What we do and don’t cover

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can

Service details

Can I do it myself?

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

What it costs

When we quote, we look at:

How much sampling is needed
The size and age of the building
Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
The type of material and its condition

Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What to photograph

When you send photos, these help most:

The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
A rough size or measurement
A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Visible markings

Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Not reliably by eye: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
