Asbestos testing near Mount Pleasant
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Mount Pleasant? Testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Typical jobs include floor tiles and black adhesive and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, involving panels behind heaters, flue pipes and black adhesive.

Common questions in Mount Pleasant
Do you cover Mount Pleasant and the area around Sway station?
Yes, we cover Mount Pleasant and the area towards Sway station, about 1.6 miles west.
Do you cover small places like Mount Pleasant?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.

What it costs
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much sampling is needed
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Street parking nearby
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What it might be made of
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof.
For businesses and landlords in Mount Pleasant
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
