Asbestos testing in Terriers
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, which is what our testing service in Terriers provides. Whether it’s checks before maintenance in rented homes and Artex before downlights or rewiring, we cover black adhesive, textured ceilings and floor tiles and more.
In areas like Terriers, we’re often asked to test garage and shed roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What we deal with in Terriers
Testing can show a material does not contain asbestos at all, which saves time and money.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Lab results for contractors before they start
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Corrugated roof sheets
- A material damaged during DIY
If your home is one of the older properties in Terriers, near Church of Saint Francis or elsewhere, test any suspect materials before renovation.

For businesses and landlords in Terriers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Choosing the right option
A lab result is far more reliable than guessing from photos. Photos help us plan, but the lab gives the answer. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Materials we deal with
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, because results can differ.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
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.
Step by step
Each sample is small, sealed in a bag, labelled and logged, then go off to the lab. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm a test is the right choice, rather than a survey
- Our surveyor takes the samples

Helpful guides
Your questions about asbestos testing in Terriers
Do you work near High Wycombe station?
Yes. High Wycombe station is about 1 mile south-west of Terriers, and we cover both.
Do you cover Terriers from London?
Terriers is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Should I use a home testing kit?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
Do you work in Terriers?
Yes. We cover Terriers and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We will tell you if your job needs it.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
