Asbestos testing near Green Street

What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The number of materials to sample
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- The quantity or area
The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Visible markings
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view
- How we’d reach it
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
Air testing is different from sample testing. After licensed work, an independent UKAS-accredited analyst carries out clearance testing. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why people choose us
- Clear advice on your options
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Each material’s condition recorded

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
Going forward:
- Clear access to the area
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Photos of the material help us plan
Don’ts
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture
