Good to know
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and does not cover:
- Testing does not look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Questions from Remenham Hill
Do you cover small places like Remenham Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Remenham Hill homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you test Artex in Remenham Hill?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
When will I get the result?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
