How asbestos testing works in Hattingley
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. That is safer than breaking off a piece yourself. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and a material damaged during DIY, including soffit boards, floor tiles and flue pipes.
Rural properties near Hattingley may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Hattingley
Do you cover Hattingley from London?
We cover Hattingley, about 50 miles from central London.
Could my house in Hattingley contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hattingley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What affects the price in Hattingley
The cost depends on:
- Material and condition
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey type
- The size and age of the building
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
