How asbestos testing works in Mayford

After the job
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Group several materials into one visit
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Photos of the material help us plan
Avoid these
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself.
The scope of asbestos testing
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Panels behind heaters
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks
- Bitumen adhesive
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles
- Garage roof sheets
Materials we deal with
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test them before they come up.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Your questions about asbestos testing in Mayford
Could my house in Mayford contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Mayford from London?
Mayford is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
