Afterwards
A positive result isn’t a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Send photos of the material and where it is
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Test before booking the builders, so there is no delay later.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Your questions about asbestos testing in MK1
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
