Your questions about asbestos testing in Maidenbower
Do you cover Maidenbower and the area around Three Bridges station?
Yes. Three Bridges station is about 1.1 miles north-west of Maidenbower, and we cover both.
How far is Maidenbower from London?
Maidenbower is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
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, which is why identifying it first matters.
How many samples will I need?
Normally one per material, sometimes more. We will advise when you tell us what you are testing.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

We seal the sample point with a suitable sealant or tape, leaving the material safe while you wait for the result. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
