Weedon questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Weedon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Asbestos testing in Weedon
Asbestos testing tells you whether a specific material contains asbestos In Weedon, we take samples of suspect materials and send them to an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Typical jobs include tiles found under carpet and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including floor tiles, garage roof sheets and black adhesive.
In towns and villages like Weedon, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How we price asbestos testing
Prices vary with:
- Access to the area
- The quantity or area
- The size and age of the building
- Parking and access charges
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we’ll advise.
Your options compared
No one can confirm asbestos from a picture. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Every main survey type
- Accredited laboratory results
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Each material’s condition recorded
