How we price asbestos testing
What changes the cost:

Your questions about asbestos testing in Sherfield on Loddon
How far is Sherfield on Loddon from London?
We cover Sherfield on Loddon, about 42 miles from central London.
Could my house in Sherfield on Loddon contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does someone need to be there?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Should I use a home testing kit?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
How long do test results take?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We will give you an idea when we book.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
