Our asbestos testing in HA0
Before small jobs in HA0, people often test first: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. People often contact us about corrugated roof sheets and boiler cupboard panels, including floor tiles, garage roof sheets and textured ceilings.
On the day, we confirm which materials to sample and where, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards.
- Send us photos of the material
- We confirm a test is the right choice, rather than a survey
- Our surveyor takes the samples
- The lab tests the samples
- You get the result with advice on next steps

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so it’s worth knowing.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in HA0, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
What we deal with in HA0
Builders and plasterers increasingly ask for a test result before starting work on older surfaces, and a written lab result gives them what they need.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Panels behind old heaters
- Something broken during building work
Your questions about asbestos testing in HA0
When will I get the result?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You’ll get an estimate when we quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you test Artex in HA0?
We do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
How many samples will I need?
Usually one for each different material, sometimes more. Photos help us suggest a number.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How do I know if a material in HA0 contains asbestos?
Not reliably by eye: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
