Asbestos testing near Kimpton
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? We sample suspect materials in Kimpton and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. People often contact us about boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, including panels behind heaters, soffit boards and garage roof sheets.
Rural properties near Kimpton may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Weighing up your options
Air tests aren’t the same as material tests. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Kimpton questions
Do older homes in Kimpton have asbestos?
Any home in Kimpton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Grateley station?
Yes, we cover Kimpton and the area towards Grateley station, about 3.9 miles south.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How long do test results take?
Timing depends on the lab. We’ll tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
