About our asbestos testing in Tadmarton
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Tadmarton, stop and keep people away from it. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with, and what to do next. Typical jobs include results builders ask for before work and checks before maintenance in rented homes, including garage roof sheets, soffit boards and textured ceilings.
In areas like Tadmarton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
Don’ts
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t try to clean it up.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.

What we deal with in Tadmarton
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so materials in homes and buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Something broken during building work
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Answers trades need before starting
If you let property close to Banbury station, a single material can be tested between tenancies.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Tadmarton
Is asbestos common in Tadmarton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Tadmarton from London?
We cover Tadmarton, about 68 miles from central London.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do I need more than one sample?
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you test textured ceilings?
We do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tadmarton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

What it costs
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Travel and parking
- The size of the job
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- Where we could park
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Doing it yourself?
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
