About our asbestos testing in South Warnborough
A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials.

Whether it’s panels behind old heaters and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we cover black adhesive, panels behind heaters and floor tiles and more.
Village homes in areas like South Warnborough often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so the result matters.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What affects the price in South Warnborough
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The quantity or area
- Access to the area
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Street parking nearby
- Approximate dimensions
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

How far is South Warnborough from London?
We cover South Warnborough, about 42 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like South Warnborough?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What happens if the test is positive?
You’ll know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
