Asbestos testing in Newell Green
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. Whether it’s garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, we deal with panels behind heaters, black adhesive and soffit boards and more.
Rural properties near Newell Green may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Where asbestos turns up
Builders and plasterers increasingly ask for a test result before starting work on older surfaces, and a lab result is what they’re after.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Corrugated roof sheets
On busy roads like the B3034, parking can be tricky, so mention it when you get in touch.
