Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Materials we deal with
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so the result matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test before lifting them.

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Common reasons for tests in Stoke Goldington
Many trades won’t touch older ceilings or floors without a test, and a written lab result gives them what they need.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- Results builders ask for before work
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Boiler cupboard panels
Parents and staff at schools such as Stoke Goldington Church of England School can ask about the school’s asbestos management.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- VAT, clearly stated
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
What happens next
A positive result is not a reason to panic: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Group several materials into one visit
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Send photos of the material and where it is
What to avoid
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Please don’t take your own sample.
Which option is right?
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. 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 choose us
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Records for your files
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Stoke Goldington: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Stoke Goldington?

Do you cover Stoke Goldington and the area around Wolverton station?
Yes. Wolverton station is about 4.7 miles south of Stoke Goldington, and we cover both.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Do you do air testing?
We don’t carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. Ask and we will explain.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
When will I get the result?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
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.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
