Asbestos testing for Pearson's Green properties
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, and that is what we arrange in Pearson's Green. From something broken during building work and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, we deal with panels behind heaters, flue pipes and textured ceilings.
In places like Pearson's Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Typical tests in Pearson's Green
The risk normally comes from drilling or sanding something nobody had tested. Testing first avoids that.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Panels behind old heaters
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
Parents and staff at schools such as Mascalls School can ask about the school’s asbestos management.
Questions to ask before booking

- Whether VAT is included

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

How we price asbestos testing
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- The number of materials to sample
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
- The survey type
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- A photo of the whole area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test before lifting them.
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. Testing identifies them.
