Asbestos testing for Upper Horsebridge properties
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Upper Horsebridge use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. Whether it’s Artex before downlights or rewiring and lab results for contractors before they start, we deal with soffit boards, panels behind heaters and black adhesive.
Homes in areas like Upper Horsebridge with older garages and outbuildings may have roofs worth testing before work. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

- Don’t touch it before we arrive
