Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll advise when you tell us what you are testing.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Will I get the price in writing?

Choosing the right option
A test or a full survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. Small jobs generally just need a test. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
