Asbestos testing for Middlegreen properties
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Common materials are black adhesive, soffit boards and flue pipes, and people typically contact us about single materials in rented homes between tenancies and corrugated roof sheets.
In areas like Middlegreen, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough.
Weighing up your options
Air tests are not the same as material tests. After licensed work, an independent UKAS-accredited analyst carries out clearance testing. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Accredited laboratory results
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Each material’s condition recorded

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

What we deal with in Middlegreen
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so materials in homes and buildings across Slough built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Panels behind old heaters
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
At a school like The Langley Academy Primary, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.

How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
