Service details

About our asbestos testing in Two Mile Ash

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 Two Mile Ash provides. Whether it’s results builders ask for before work and checks before maintenance in rented homes, we deal with soffit boards, floor tiles and garage roof sheets and more.

Properties in Two Mile Ash with outbuildings may have roofs worth testing before work. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes vary because of:

  • The number of materials to sample
  • How big the building is
  • How easy it is to reach
  • Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope

We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Sending photos

Helpful photos:

  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it
  • How we’d reach it
  • The parking area
  • An overall view

We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

DIY and asbestos

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Questions from Two Mile Ash

Do you cover Two Mile Ash and the area around Milton Keynes Central station?

Yes. Milton Keynes Central station is about 1.2 miles south-east of Two Mile Ash, and we cover both.

How far is Two Mile Ash from London?

Two Mile Ash is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.

When will I get the result?

It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We will tell you the expected timing when we quote.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

When can you start?

That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Can you test Artex in Two Mile Ash?

Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.

After we have finished in Two Mile Ash

A positive result isn’t a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.

Once we’re done:

  • Clear access to the area
  • If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
  • Test everything you are worried about at once
  • Keep the results for future work or a sale

Things not to do

Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.

Leave the material alone until the result is back.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Two Mile Ash must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
