Asbestos testing for Keeper's Corner properties
A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Keeper's Corner, a survey covers more, and we’ll say which makes sense. Whether it’s garage roofs before replacement and Artex before downlights or rewiring, we deal with floor tiles, textured ceilings and panels behind heaters.
In areas like Keeper's Corner, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What happens next
We seal the sample point when sampling, so it’s safe while you wait.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Photos of the material help us plan
What to avoid
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Your options compared
How many samples? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

What we deal with in Keeper's Corner
Testing can show a material does not contain asbestos at all, so work can carry on normally.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Debris found after DIY
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Panels behind old heaters
- Tiles found under carpet
If your home is one of the older properties in Keeper's Corner, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere, a quick test before work is sensible.

What else we do in Keeper's Corner
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Doing it yourself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
