About our asbestos testing in Lane End
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Lane End? Testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you will know what precautions are needed. Whether it’s old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and results builders ask for before work, we cover floor tiles, textured ceilings and panels behind heaters and more.
In a smaller place like Lane End, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

What happens next
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will normally be licensed, and we’ll explain what that involves.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Group several materials into one visit
What to avoid
Test before you book the builders, so there’s no delay later.
Please don’t take your own sample.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Common questions in Lane End
Do you cover Lane End from London?
Lane End is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
