DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How we price asbestos testing
When we quote, we look at:
- The number of materials to sample
- The size and age of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- How we’d reach it
Each job is priced individually. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
