About our asbestos testing in Hurtmore
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we’ll explain what that means for your plans in Hurtmore. From floor tiles and black adhesive and something broken during building work, we cover flue pipes, panels behind heaters and black adhesive and more.
In a village like Hurtmore, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Choosing the right option

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What it might be made of
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so the result matters.
Textured coatings
We take a small piece of the coating, from a discreet spot.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
How we price asbestos testing
Prices vary with:
- Parking and access charges
- The type of survey you need
- The number of materials to sample
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Hurtmore questions
Do you come out to small villages like Hurtmore?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Hurtmore from London?
Hurtmore is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
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.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
