Asbestos testing in Micklefield
Sampling is done carefully: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. That’s safer than breaking off a piece yourself. We often deal with floor tiles, soffit boards and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and answers trades need before starting.
Properties in Micklefield with outbuildings may have roofs worth testing before work. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
After the job
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so it’s safe while you wait.
After we’ve finished:
- Make the area easy to reach
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Do not touch it before we arrive
Things not to do
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Choosing the right option
A lab result is far more reliable than guessing from photos. Photos help us plan, but the lab gives the answer. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Recommendations in plain English
- Each material’s condition recorded

Micklefield: your questions answered
Do older homes in Micklefield have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near High Wycombe station?
Yes. High Wycombe station is about 1.3 miles west of Micklefield, and we cover both.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
We do not carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We will tell you if your job needs it.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How long do test results take?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we deal with
- Soffit boards
- Bitumen adhesive
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Roof felt
- Panels behind heaters
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
