Your options compared
A test or a full survey? Testing checks the materials you’re worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs usually just need a test.
Before booking anyone
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What you’ll receive in writing
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Which areas and materials are covered
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Parking and access charges
- How easy it is to reach
- The building’s size and layout
- The type of survey you need
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Damaged areas
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Every job is quoted in writing. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles are often found under newer floors; test before lifting them.
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough, from a discreet spot.

Common questions in DA9
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you cover DA9?
Yes. We cover DA9 and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
