Asbestos testing in Tatling End
Asbestos testing in Tatling End
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Tatling End you are not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Whether it’s boiler cupboard panels and checks before maintenance in rented homes, we deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
In a village like Tatling End, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Step by step
If we spot other materials that might contain asbestos, we will mention them, so you can decide whether to test them too. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Tell us what the material is, where it is, and send a picture if you can
- We quote for the samples needed
- We take each sample with wetting and controls, and seal it
- An accredited laboratory carries out the analysis
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
How to prepare
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Mention any parking restrictions
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Testing does not look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Tatling End
Do older homes in Tatling End have asbestos?
If your home in Tatling End was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Tatling End and the area around Denham Golf Club station?
Yes. Denham Golf Club station is about 0.7 miles north-east of Tatling End, and we cover both.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
