At Asbestos Testing, we carry out professional asbestos testing kit services for domestic, commercial, and industrial properties across the UK. Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, contractor, or developer, we ensure your premises complies with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 before any work that could disturb asbestos materials (ACMs) begins.

Our testing process is designed to identify, sample, and analyse potential ACMs through detailed site inspections, certified UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis, and clear, precise reporting that supports safe management, refurbishment, or removal in accordance with your asbestos management plan.

Why Is Asbestos Testing Necessary?

Asbestos testing kits are essential to locate, identify, and confirm the presence of ACMs that could pose hazardous health risks during refurbishment, demolition, or daily occupation.

By testing for asbestos before works begin, you can protect workers, occupants, and the public from exposure to asbestos fibres, while meeting your legal obligations under UK health and safety law and HSE guidance.

What Should You Expect From the Asbestos Testing Report?

Our asbestos testing reports include:

• Location and condition of any ACMs – Detailed descriptions of asbestos materials found to contain asbestos.
• Photographic documentation – Clear images supporting and verifying the findings.
• Risk assessment scores – Ratings indicating the hazard level of each identified ACM.
• Recommendations – Guidance for safe removal, encapsulation, or ongoing monitoring.
• Annotated building plans – Visual layouts marking the precise locations of ACMs.
• Restricted access notes – Details of areas not fully accessible that may require further investigation.
• Fast reporting options – Urgent results available within 48 hours when required.

How Much Does Asbestos Testing Cost in or Around?

The prices of asbestos testing range from £300 to £750, depending on the size, complexity, and type of property.

Smaller houses and flats are usually at the lower end of the range, while larger commercial premises, schools, or industrial sites may require more extensive sampling and analysis. Costs are influenced by the number of samples, site accessibility, and urgency.

When Is Asbestos Testing Legally Required?

Asbestos testing is required before any refurbishment, demolition, or major maintenance work on buildings constructed before 2000.

This applies to residential, commercial, and public properties such as schools and healthcare facilities. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, duty holders must ensure asbestos is tested for and identified to prevent legal penalties and delays.

An asbestos survey is often conducted to locate and assess asbestos fibres and determine if abatement procedures are necessary.

Can Asbestos Testing Be Carried Out Quickly for Urgent Projects?

We offer same-day and next-day asbestos testing for projects where time is critical.

Our team can attend at short notice, take sample bags, and arrange UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis, with full reports provided within 24 to 48 hours to keep projects moving on schedule.

We include a return envelope and submission form for every kit, making delivery and sample handling simple for customers and business users alike.

How Do Testing Specialists Identify and Analyse Suspected ACMs?

Our asbestos testing specialists are BOHS-qualified and follow HSG264 procedures to conduct thorough inspections, safe sampling, and laboratory testing.

Samples are sealed in bags, labelled, and sent to accredited laboratories, where analysis confirms asbestos fibers content. We then assess the condition and location of ACMs to provide clear, risk-based recommendations and detection results.

Each process follows strict instructions for air quality control and contamination prevention to protect the environment and people from potential exposure.

Which Areas Are Covered During Asbestos Testing?

We carry out asbestos testing across all areas of a property, including:

• Ceilings and ceiling voids – Tested for asbestos insulation boards, sprayed coatings, or textured finishes.
• Wall panels and internal partitions – Examined for asbestos-containing boards, sheeting, or insulation on walls and ceilings.
• Boiler rooms and pipe insulation – Checked for lagging, gaskets, and other ACMs around heating systems using approved equipment.
• Floor tiles and coverings – Analysed for vinyl tiles, adhesives, or backing materials containing asbestos.
• Textured coatings – Tested for asbestos in decorative finishes such as Artex.
• Roof linings and external cladding – Assessed for asbestos cement sheets, panels, or soffits.
• Risers, ducts, and service areas – Inspected for insulation, lining boards, or hidden ACMs.

Do Asbestos Testing Providers Offer Removal Services Too?

While our core service is asbestos testing, we work closely with licensed asbestos removal contractors and can recommend trusted providers for safe asbestos abatement and remediation.

We can also conduct follow-up testing after removal to confirm compliance, issue a certificate, and ensure the property meets government safety standards.

Our service is fully backed by analysts and consultancy support to assist with questions, examples, or guides related to asbestos detection and protection.
