Asbestos testing near Madley Park
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? In Madley Park, we take samples of suspect materials and send them to an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Typical jobs include soffit boards and corrugated roof sheets, including panels behind heaters, soffit boards and floor tiles.
In areas like Madley Park, we are often asked to test garage and shed roofs, as well as ceilings and floors in the house. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Madley Park

Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
When will I get the result?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
