How asbestos testing works in RH12
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You’ll learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain your options. Typical materials include textured ceilings, garage roof sheets and flue pipes, and typical jobs are something broken during building work and single materials in rented homes between tenancies.
We wear suitable protective equipment and keep the work area clear, however small the job.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm a test is the right choice, rather than a survey
- Our surveyor takes the samples
- The samples go to an accredited laboratory
- We explain what the result means for your plans

Prices and what affects them

- Access to the area

- How many outbuildings are included
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Roof felt and mastics
Some bitumen products contain asbestos.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Afterwards
File the results with your house paperwork, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Do not touch it before we arrive
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t try to clean it up.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Your questions about asbestos testing in RH12
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you work in RH12?
We do: our area includes RH12 and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We’ll tell you whether you need it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
