Asbestos testing for Stunts Green properties
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. We often deal with textured ceilings, floor tiles and black adhesive, and people generally contact us about debris found after DIY and floor tiles and black adhesive.
In towns and villages like Stunts Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

- Let us know what you want to do next
- Photos of the material help us plan

- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit

Questions from Stunts Green
Do you come out to small villages like Stunts Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Stunts Green have asbestos?
If your home in Stunts Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We will suggest a number when we see the photos.
How long do test results take?
That depends on the laboratory. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. If you’re unsure, ask us to take it.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Landlords, managing agents and employers

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. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
