Our asbestos testing in E20
Before small jobs in E20, people often test first: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. Typical jobs include boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and something broken during building work, involving panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and textured ceilings.
Each sample is small, sealed in a bag, labelled and logged, then sent to an accredited laboratory.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- We quote for the samples needed
- Each sample is taken carefully and sealed
- An accredited laboratory carries out the analysis
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means

How we price asbestos testing
What changes the cost:
- How big the building is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:

Choosing the right option
One sample or several? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Looking after things afterwards
If no asbestos is found, work can generally go ahead normally.
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
The scope of asbestos testing
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
Why people call us in E20
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples, since sampling disturbs the material.
In older properties, we often see:
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- One-off checks in rented property
- A material damaged during DIY
- Garage roofs before replacement
Your questions about asbestos testing in E20
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do I need more than one sample?
Normally one per material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. Photos help us suggest a number.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
