Asbestos testing near Nonington
Before small jobs in Nonington, people often test first: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. People often contact us about tiles found under carpet and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, involving textured ceilings, panels behind heaters and black adhesive.
Village homes in places like Nonington often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

FAQs for Nonington
Could my house in Nonington contain asbestos?
If your home in Nonington 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 come out to small villages like Nonington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Nonington?
We do: our area includes Nonington and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What happens next
You get a written laboratory result for each sample, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Group several materials into one visit
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Let us know what you want to do next
Avoid these
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before you book:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Bitumen adhesive
- Garage roof sheets

What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- How many different materials need sampling
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The survey type
- Travel and parking
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A clear close-up
- Visible markings
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What it might be made of
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge.
Roof felt and mastics
