People often contact us about porch canopies and lab results for contractors before they start, involving soffit boards, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
We use the right protective equipment and keep people away while sampling, even for a single sample.

- You get a quote for the samples
- A surveyor visits and samples each material, sealing the sample points

Asbestos testing across SM3
Across SM3, homeowners and landlords test single materials before small jobs, in towns and villages alike.
North Cheam: Schools such as Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works. For older homes anywhere in North Cheam, from near St Oswald Church outwards, a quick test before work is sensible.
After we have finished in SM3
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The quantity or area
- How big the building is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How much sampling is needed
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- A photo of the whole area
- A rough size or measurement
- Damaged areas
- The parking area

Weighing up your options
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning.
Questions to ask before you book
- The scope, in writing
- If the price includes VAT
- What you will receive in writing
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
FAQs for SM3
What happens if the test is positive?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
We do not carry out air testing ourselves: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How many samples will I need?
Typically one per material, sometimes more. We will suggest a number when we see the photos.
