Asbestos testing near Ufton Nervet
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Whether it’s corrugated roof sheets and one-off checks in rented property, we deal with soffit boards, black adhesive and garage roof sheets and more.
Rural properties near Ufton Nervet may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we deal with in Ufton Nervet
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across West Berkshire may have it.
These come up again and again:
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Results builders ask for before work

- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling

Helpful guides
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Flues and tanks
A test before removal is a good idea.
