Asbestos testing near Lillingstone Lovell
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. Whether it’s debris found after DIY and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we cover textured ceilings, flue pipes and panels behind heaters and more.
Village homes in places like Lillingstone Lovell often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Parking and access charges
- The type of material and its condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The size of the job
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
What happens next
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
Some practical advice:
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Group several materials into one visit
Avoid these
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
What happens
We seal the sample point with a suitable sealant or tape, so it stays safe until the result arrives. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start.
- Let us know which materials you are worried about
- You get a quote for the samples
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point
- We send the samples to an accredited laboratory
- You get the results, and we talk you through them
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Lillingstone Lovell: your questions answered
How far is Lillingstone Lovell from London?
Lillingstone Lovell is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Lillingstone Lovell?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Which option is right?
No one can confirm asbestos from a photo. Photos help us plan, but the lab gives the answer. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
