Asbestos testing near Hurstbourne Priors
About our asbestos testing in Hurstbourne Priors
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. From debris found after DIY and floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover flue pipes, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
In areas like Hurstbourne Priors, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Panels behind heaters

FAQs for Hurstbourne Priors
Do you cover small places like Hurstbourne Priors?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Hurstbourne Priors from London?
We cover Hurstbourne Priors, about 59 miles from central London.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
We will explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Do you do air testing?
We do not carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. Ask and we’ll explain.
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.
Do I need more than one sample?
Typically one for each different material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. Photos help us suggest a number.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
