About our asbestos testing in Shripney
If something has been damaged during work in Shripney, stop first. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with. Typical materials include textured ceilings, soffit boards and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about debris found after DIY and floor tiles and black adhesive.
Rural properties near Shripney may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

A test or a full survey? Testing checks the materials you are worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs usually just need a test. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Clear advice on your options
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos testing:
- Material and condition
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Travel and parking
- The size of the job
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Questions from Shripney
How far is Shripney from London?
We cover Shripney, about 54 miles from central London.

How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
