About our asbestos testing in Stony Green
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 checks before maintenance in rented homes and floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover garage roof sheets, textured ceilings and soffit boards.
In a village like Stony Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Your options compared
No one can confirm asbestos from a photo. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Recommendations in plain English
- Quotes that spell out the scope
Take a look at our prices page or published price ranges.
Where asbestos turns up
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so pre-2000 buildings across Buckinghamshire may have it.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- A material damaged during DIY
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Garage roofs before replacement
If you live in an older house in Stony Green, get suspect materials tested before you start.
Comparing quotes
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Common questions in Stony Green
Do you cover small places like Stony Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not reliably by eye: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Do you cover Stony Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Stony Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. If you’re unsure, ask us to take it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
After the job
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we’ll explain what that involves.
After we’ve finished:
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Group several materials into one visit
What to avoid
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
The scope of asbestos testing
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured ceilings
