Our asbestos testing in RG27
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in RG27, stop and keep people away from it. A test will show whether it contains asbestos. Typical materials include panels behind heaters, soffit boards and garage roof sheets, and people normally contact us about corrugated roof sheets and something broken during building work.
On the day, we confirm which materials to sample and where, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- We agree the number of samples and send a quote
- Samples are taken with controls
- An accredited lab analyses them
- You get the written result and our advice

Testing materials in RG27
Across RG27, homeowners and landlords test single materials before small jobs, in towns and villages alike.
Hook: If your home is one of the older properties in Hook, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere, test any suspect materials before renovation. If you are a letting agent with homes near Hook station, testing before work avoids delays.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in RG27, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much sampling is needed
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Every job is quoted in writing. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
Typical tests in RG27
Textured coatings, floor tiles, cement sheets and boards can all look the same with or without asbestos, so you cannot go by looks or age alone.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- One-off checks in rented property
- Porch canopies
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
Looking after things afterwards
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Tell us what work you are planning
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Materials, one by one
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Your questions about asbestos testing in RG27
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
- 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
