How asbestos testing works in Newton Longville

We often deal with panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and black adhesive, and typical jobs are soffits and porch canopies before replacement and garage roofs before replacement.

Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- What the material is and its state
- Parking and access charges
- The size of the job
- The number of materials to sample
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Common questions in Newton Longville
How far is Newton Longville from London?
We cover Newton Longville, about 44 miles from central London.
Do you cover Newton Longville and the area around Bletchley station?
Yes. Bletchley station is about 2.1 miles north-east of Newton Longville, and we cover both.
Can you test Artex in Newton Longville?
Yes, we do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. We can take it for you.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Choosing the right option
Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
