About our asbestos testing in Great Haseley
Before small jobs in Great Haseley, people often test first: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. People often contact us about debris found after DIY and tiles found under carpet, including black adhesive, floor tiles and soffit boards.
Rural properties near Great Haseley may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Great Haseley: your questions answered
Do older homes in Great Haseley have asbestos?
Any home in Great Haseley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How do I know if a material in Great Haseley contains asbestos?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We sample it and have it analysed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The type of material and its condition
- How many outbuildings are included
- Parking and access charges
- The size of the job
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A clear close-up
- Approximate dimensions
You will get a written quote. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details.
Choosing the right option
Testing before work normally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Across London and the South East

Afterwards
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Some practical advice:
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
Avoid these
Test before you book the builders, so there’s no delay later.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
