About our asbestos testing in Moorstock
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. That is safer than breaking off a piece yourself. Whether it’s corrugated roof sheets and soffit boards, we cover panels behind heaters, black adhesive and garage roof sheets.
Rural properties near Moorstock may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Which option is right?
Air testing is different from sample testing. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test them before they come up.
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Moorstock, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Questions from Moorstock
Do you cover Moorstock from London?
We cover Moorstock, about 55 miles from central London.
Could my house in Moorstock contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Moorstock may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we will explain what applies to your job.
