Asbestos testing for Oakley Green
How asbestos testing works in Oakley Green
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. Whether it’s corrugated roof sheets and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with garage roof sheets, flue pipes and floor tiles.
Village homes in towns and villages like Oakley Green often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Choosing the right option
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you are worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. For small jobs a test is often enough. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

- Every main survey type

A closer look at the materials
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test them before they come up.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Common questions in Oakley Green
Do you come out to small villages like Oakley Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Oakley Green from London?
We cover Oakley Green, about 25 miles from central London.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not reliably by eye: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
How it works
On the day, we confirm which materials to sample and where, then sample each material with controls to limit dust. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Let us know which materials you’re worried about
- We confirm the number of samples and the price
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point

Good to know
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
