Asbestos testing in Tangley
Testing suits one or two specific materials. If you are planning bigger work in Tangley, a survey of the areas affected is generally better, and we’ll tell you honestly which you need. From floor tiles and black adhesive and results builders ask for before work, we cover panels behind heaters, black adhesive and soffit boards and more.
Rural properties near Tangley may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Looking after things afterwards
You get a written laboratory result for each sample, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
Don’ts
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
How we price asbestos testing
What changes the cost:
- How much sampling is needed

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
