Asbestos testing for Hedgerley
Asbestos testing for Hedgerley properties
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Hedgerley? Testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. We often deal with flue pipes, panels behind heaters and black adhesive, and typical jobs are garage roofs before replacement and soffits and porch canopies before replacement.
In a village like Hedgerley, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Why people call us in Hedgerley
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.

FAQs for Hedgerley
Do you cover Hedgerley and the area around Gerrards Cross station?
Yes, we cover Hedgerley and the area towards Gerrards Cross station, about 2.3 miles north-east.
Is asbestos common in Hedgerley homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We will tell you if your job needs it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
