About our asbestos testing in North Marston
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. That is safer than breaking off a piece yourself. Typical jobs include boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings before a renovation, including panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and soffit boards.
In places like North Marston, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Materials we deal with
Flues and tanks
Flues and tanks are often asbestos cement.
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test them before they come up.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

- Floor tiles
- Soffit boards

After the job
A positive result is not a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
After we’ve finished:
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Group several materials into one visit
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
What to avoid
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
For businesses and landlords in North Marston
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Do you cover North Marston and the area around Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?

What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
