How asbestos testing works in Great Linford
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You’ll learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we’ll explain your options. Whether it’s tiles found under carpet and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we deal with floor tiles, garage roof sheets and flue pipes and more.
In a smaller place like Great Linford, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Great Linford
Do you work near Wolverton station?
Yes. Wolverton station is about 1.7 miles west of Great Linford, and we cover both.
How far is Great Linford from London?
Great Linford is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
How it works
We seal the sample point with a suitable sealant or tape, leaving the material safe while you wait for the result. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

Helpful guides
Which option is right?
Air testing is different from sample testing. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
