DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Common questions in Radnage
Do you cover small places like Radnage?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Radnage contain asbestos?
If your home in Radnage was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll advise when you tell us what you’re testing.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We’ll give you an idea when we book.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Choosing the right option
Testing before work generally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
