Asbestos testing for Piddington
About our asbestos testing in Piddington
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Piddington? A sample test gives you an answer. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Typical materials include black adhesive, panels behind heaters and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about garage roofs before replacement and porch canopies.
In a village like Piddington, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Piddington questions
Do you cover Piddington and the area around Saunderton station?
Yes, we cover Piddington and the area towards Saunderton station, about 2.5 miles north.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
When will I get the result?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We will tell you if your job needs it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, as one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Textured coatings
We take a small piece of the coating, from a discreet spot.
How we price asbestos testing
Quotes vary because of:
- Parking and access charges
- The size and age of the building
- The number of materials to sample
- The type of survey you need
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- An overall view
- A clear close-up
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
For businesses and landlords in Piddington
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks
- Panels behind heaters
- Roof felt
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Garage roof sheets
- Soffit boards
- Bitumen adhesive

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
