Choosing the right option
You can buy home testing kits, but you have to disturb the material yourself to use one. HSE recommends a competent person does the sampling. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

What happens next
A positive result is not a reason to panic: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
Some practical advice:
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Make the area easy to reach
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Avoid these
Test before you book the builders, so there is no delay later.
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
