Weighing up your options
Air tests are not the same as material tests. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Clear advice on your options

Asbestos testing for Stockland Green properties
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Whether it’s boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, we deal with soffit boards, flue pipes and floor tiles and more.
In a village like Stockland Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Stockland Green
Do you work near High Brooms station?
Yes. High Brooms station is about 2 miles east of Stockland Green, and we cover both.
Do you cover Stockland Green from London?
We cover Stockland Green, about 28 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you do air testing?
We don’t carry out air testing ourselves: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask and we’ll explain.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What it might be made of
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. A test tells you which.
Textured coatings
We take a small piece of the coating.

If you run a business from older premises in Stockland Green, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What happens next
If no asbestos is found, work can usually go ahead normally, and you can show the result to your builder.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
Don’ts
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
