How asbestos testing works in Maiden's Green
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Maiden's Green, stop and keep people away from it. Testing a sample tells you what you’re dealing with, and what to do next. We often deal with black adhesive, flue pipes and garage roof sheets, and people normally contact us about soffit boards and garage roofs before replacement.
In places like Maiden's Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

DIY and asbestos

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For landlords, agents and businesses

Common questions in Maiden's Green
Do you come out to small villages like Maiden's Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Maiden's Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Maiden's Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need to see it before quoting?

How long do test results take?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. We will give you an idea when we book the sampling.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
We do not carry out air testing ourselves: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
