Micheldever questions
How far is Micheldever from London?
We cover Micheldever, about 56 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Micheldever?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
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, so identifying it before work is important.
Asbestos testing for Micheldever properties
A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials. If you are planning bigger work in Micheldever, a survey of the areas affected is generally better, and we will tell you honestly which you need. From soffits and porch canopies before replacement and one-off checks in rented property, we deal with garage roof sheets, soffit boards and floor tiles.
Village homes in areas like Micheldever often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Questions to ask before you book
- The report contents
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
Which option is right?
Air testing is different from sample testing. After licensed work, an independent UKAS-accredited analyst carries out clearance testing. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Accredited laboratory results
- Clear next steps
- Reports and results you can share
Read our prices page and published price ranges.
After the job
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will generally be licensed, and we’ll explain what happens then.
Once we’re done:
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Photos of the material help us plan
Don’ts
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Test before you book the builders, so there is no delay later.
How we price asbestos testing
Every quote reflects:
- The size of the job
- How many outbuildings are included
- How easy it is to reach
- What the material is and its state
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Cracks or breaks
- The parking area
- An idea of size
- A clear close-up
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Step by step
If we see anything else suspicious, we will tell you, so you can decide whether to test them too. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- We agree the number of samples and send a quote
- Samples are taken with controls
- An accredited lab analyses them
- We send the result and explain it
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Mention any parking restrictions
