How asbestos testing works in Rush Green
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, and that is what we arrange in Rush Green. Common materials are textured ceilings, flue pipes and black adhesive, and people generally contact us about single materials in rented homes between tenancies and something broken during building work.
Rural properties near Rush Green may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Take a look at how we quote or published price ranges.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- How easy it is to reach
- How many outbuildings are included
- The building’s size and layout
- The number of materials to sample
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Afterwards
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
Don’ts
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test before lifting them.
Textured coatings
We take a small piece of the coating, from a discreet spot.
Duty holders and landlords in Rush Green

Your questions about asbestos testing in Rush Green
How far is Rush Green from London?
We cover Rush Green, about 19 miles from central London.
Do you cover Rush Green and the area around Denham Golf Club station?
Yes. Denham Golf Club station is about 1.4 miles north of Rush Green, and we cover both.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.

- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
