Asbestos testing in Quidhampton

People often contact us about garage roofs before replacement and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, involving black adhesive, flue pipes and floor tiles.

A closer look at the materials
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. Testing identifies them.
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof.
After we’ve finished in Quidhampton
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Make the area easy to reach
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Group several materials into one visit
Things not to do
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Your questions about asbestos testing in Quidhampton
How far is Quidhampton from London?
We cover Quidhampton, about 53 miles from central London.
Do you cover Quidhampton and the area around Overton station?
Yes, we cover Quidhampton, including the streets around Overton station.
Do you test textured ceilings?
We do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We sample it and have it analysed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
