Afterwards
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Make the area easy to reach
What to avoid
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, as one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
The process
On the day, we confirm which materials to sample and where, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Tell us what you’d like tested
- We confirm the number of samples and the price
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point
- We send the samples to an accredited laboratory
- You get the results, and we talk you through them
Getting ready
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park

For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Tiddington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Options to consider in Tiddington

How far is Tiddington from London?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How long do test results take?
Timing depends on the lab. We will tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

DIY and asbestos

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
