- File the result with your property paperwork
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
Avoid these
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Please don’t take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
About our asbestos testing in Ley Hill
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Ley Hill? A sample test gives you an answer. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you’ll know what precautions are needed. Whether it’s a material damaged during DIY and textured ceilings before a renovation, we deal with garage roof sheets, soffit boards and floor tiles.
In areas like Ley Hill, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Ley Hill questions
Do older homes in Ley Hill have asbestos?
If your home in Ley Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ley Hill from London?
We cover Ley Hill, about 25 miles from central London.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
When will I get the result?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We will give you an idea when we book.
Do you work in Ley Hill?
Yes. We cover Ley Hill and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
You’ll know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Common reasons for tests in Ley Hill
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.

How we price asbestos testing
Quotes vary because of:
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
