Looking after things afterwards
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Once we are done:
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Make the area easy to reach
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
Don’ts
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Test before you book the builders, so there is no delay later.
Asbestos testing in Studley Green
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. Typical jobs include lab results for contractors before they start and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving garage roof sheets, panels behind heaters and floor tiles.
Village homes in towns and villages like Studley Green often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test before lifting them.
Roof felt and mastics
Some bitumen products contain asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Options to consider in Studley Green
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you’re worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs normally just need a test. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
The process
On the day, we confirm which materials to sample and where, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm a test is the right choice, rather than a survey
- Our surveyor takes the samples
- The samples go to an accredited laboratory
- We explain what the result means for your plans
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Tell us about parking and access

Studley Green questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Studley Green and the area around Saunderton station?
Yes, we cover Studley Green and the area towards Saunderton station, about 2.2 miles north-east.
When will I get the result?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We will tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Can you test Artex in Studley Green?
Yes, we do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
