How asbestos testing works in TN32
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. People often contact us about a material damaged during DIY and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including textured ceilings, soffit boards and flue pipes.
If we see anything else suspicious, we will tell you, so you can decide whether to test them too.
- Describe the material and send a photo
- We agree how many samples are needed and send a quote
- We take each sample with wetting and controls, and seal it
- An accredited laboratory carries out the analysis
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
Pricing in TN32
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in TN32, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common reasons for tests in TN32
Builders and plasterers increasingly ask for a test result before starting work on older surfaces, and a written lab result gives them what they need.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Debris found after DIY
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
Weighing up your options
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating.
Before you book anyone
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

TN32: your questions answered
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
