What it might be made of
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.

Weighing up your options
Air tests are not the same as material tests. After licensed work, an independent UKAS-accredited analyst carries out clearance testing. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo
