How asbestos testing works in Sedrup
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. From single materials in rented homes between tenancies and boiler cupboard panels, we cover floor tiles, garage roof sheets and soffit boards.
Rural properties near Sedrup may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
After we have finished in Sedrup
If no asbestos is found, work can normally go ahead normally, and you can show the result to your builder.
Once we’re done:
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Clear access to the area
Things not to do
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Common questions in Sedrup
Do you come out to small villages like Sedrup?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How long do test results take?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. We will give you an idea when we book the sampling.

What else we do in Sedrup
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The building’s size and layout
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Options to consider in Sedrup
No one can confirm asbestos from a picture. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
