The scope of asbestos testing
So you know what to expect:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
How we price asbestos testing
What drives the price:
- Travel and parking
- How many outbuildings are included
- The number of materials to sample
- What the material is and its state
The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

For businesses and landlords in UB1
If you manage or own a block in UB1, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
Flues and tanks are often asbestos cement.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Choosing the right option
Testing before work generally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating.
What to look for in a quote
- What the report or result will contain
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

UB1 questions
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How do I know if a material in UB1 contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
When will I get the result?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We’ll tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
