Asbestos testing in KT5: what to expect
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, and that’s what we arrange in KT5. Typical jobs include soffits and porch canopies before replacement and panels behind old heaters, involving black adhesive, soffit boards and flue pipes.
We start by agreeing exactly what to sample, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards.
- Tell us what you’d like tested
- You get a quote for the samples
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point
- The samples are logged and sent to an accredited laboratory
- You get the results, and we talk you through them

These come up again and again:
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Panels behind old heaters
- Answers trades need before starting
After the job
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
How we price asbestos testing
Prices vary with:
- How big the building is
- The number of materials to sample
- Parking and access charges
- How easy it is to reach
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- Approximate dimensions
- Damaged areas
- The access route
- Where we could park
Send us the address in KT5, a description and some photos: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we’ll reply with a quote.
Choosing the right option
Testing before work normally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating.

KT5 questions
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. If you are unsure, ask us to take it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
