Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sandhurst, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Choosing the right option
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. Small jobs typically just need a test. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- The right survey for your plans
- Condition assessed for every material
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear written quotes

Common reasons for tests in Sandhurst
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so materials in homes and buildings across Bracknell Forest built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Answers trades need before starting
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
Schools such as Sandhurst School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.
What your quote should include
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Areas included and excluded
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- 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
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Roof felt
- Soffit boards

What happens next
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
What to avoid
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
