Need asbestos testing in New Denham?
New Denham: your questions answered
Could my house in New Denham contain asbestos?
If your home in New Denham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like New Denham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do you work in New Denham?
Yes, we do: our area includes New Denham and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you do air testing?
We do not carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
After we have finished in New Denham
Each sample gets a written result, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Clear access to the area
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
What to avoid
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
