Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Slough may have it.
These come up again and again:
- Boiler cupboard panels
- A material damaged during DIY
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
For rented homes around Bourne End station, a quick test between tenants is worth considering.

What we do and don’t cover

- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Littleworth Corner: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Littleworth Corner?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Littleworth Corner from London?
We cover Littleworth Corner, about 24 miles from central London.
How many samples will I need?
Usually one for each different material, sometimes more. We’ll recommend a number once we know more.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Weighing up your options
A test or a full survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
