Asbestos testing near Studdal
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, which is what our testing service in Studdal provides. Typical materials include panels behind heaters, black adhesive and floor tiles, and typical jobs are garage and shed roofs before removal or repair and single materials in rented homes between tenancies.
Rural properties near Studdal may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- How big the building is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
- What the material is and its state
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- Labels, if any
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Textured coatings
We take a small piece of the coating.
Weighing up your options
How many samples? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
