Asbestos testing for Maynard's Green
Asbestos testing in Maynard's Green
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You will learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain your options. From results builders ask for before work and tiles found under carpet, we deal with garage roof sheets, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Village homes in places like Maynard's Green often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, because results can differ.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- How many outbuildings are included
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
- The quantity or area
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- Damaged areas
- A picture of the whole area
- A clear close-up
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Weighing up your options
Testing before work typically costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Across London and the South East
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Condition assessed for every material
See how we price jobs and our cost guide.
After the job
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we will explain what happens then.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Let us know what you want to do next
What to avoid
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself.

Common questions in Maynard's Green
How far is Maynard's Green from London?
Maynard's Green is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We’ll tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
