Weston Turville is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Weston Turville to Oxford (20 miles away).
If your home is one of the older properties in Weston Turville, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, a quick test before work is sensible.

Can I do it myself?
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Common reasons for tests in Weston Turville
Many trades will not touch older ceilings or floors without a test, and a written lab result gives them what they need.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Debris found after DIY
If you work at a school like Weston Turville Church of England School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.

Weston Turville: your questions answered
Could my house in Weston Turville contain asbestos?
If your home in Weston Turville was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How many samples will I need?
Normally one per material, sometimes more. Photos help us suggest a number.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. If you’re unsure, ask us to take it.
When will I get the result?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You will get an estimate when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you do air testing?
We don’t carry out air testing ourselves: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.

What drives the price:
- The size and age of the building

Photos often save us a visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.

What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Flue pipes
