How we price asbestos testing
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of materials to sample
- The size and age of the building
- Which survey type fits your plans
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A picture of the whole area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Your questions about asbestos testing in New Hythe
Do you work near New Hythe station?
Yes, we cover New Hythe, including the streets around New Hythe station.
Do you cover New Hythe from London?
We cover New Hythe, about 27 miles from central London.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
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; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask us and we will explain what applies to your job.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.

- Photos of the material help us plan
- File the result with your property paperwork
