My sample contains asbestos. What now?

Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leave it, cover it or have it removed.

How long do test results take?

Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Do you work in flats?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.

Keeping things safe:

Make the area easy to reach
Tell us what work you are planning
Keep the results for future work or a sale
Test everything you are worried about at once

What to avoid

Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.

Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.

Materials we deal with

Textured coatings

Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.

Cement sheets

We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof.

Responsibilities for owners

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

DIY and asbestos

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

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. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
