About our asbestos testing in Jury's Gap
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Jury's Gap you are not sure about, 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 soffit boards, garage roof sheets and black adhesive, and typical jobs are soffit boards and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Rural properties near Jury's Gap may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test them before they come up.
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Choosing the right option
You can buy home testing kits, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
