Asbestos testing in Wingrave
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we will explain your options. We often deal with soffit boards, textured ceilings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are boiler cupboard panels and checks before maintenance in rented homes.
Rural properties near Wingrave may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

The scope of asbestos testing
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
