Asbestos in Fulmer
Fulmer is a very small conservation village of period cottages, a historic church and a handful of larger houses, surrounded by working farmland and paddocks between Gerrards Cross and Stoke Poges. Its original brick and flint fabric predates asbestos entirely, so the risk here sits almost wholly in twentieth-century additions: cement sheet roofs on barns, cart sheds, stables and garages, along with flue pipes, water tanks and textured coatings from 1960s and 1970s modernisations. The farm buildings around the village are the largest single reservoir, often with hundreds of square metres of corrugated sheeting still in place. Barn conversions and equestrian redevelopment are the projects that most often need a survey.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Fulmer properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Testing & Air Monitoring in Fulmer: FAQs
Our cottage is seventeenth century - do we still need to worry about asbestos?
The original fabric will be asbestos-free, but almost every old cottage has later work layered on, and that is where it turns up - boiler flues, tank cupboards, lean-to roofs and textured ceiling coatings from the 1960s onwards. A single sample test at £50-£80 on a specific suspect material is often all that is needed rather than a full survey.
There is a large barn roof in corrugated sheet - what is involved in taking it down?
Corrugated asbestos-cement is non-licensed work but must come down whole, sheet by sheet, wrapped and taken to a licensed facility, not broken out. Large agricultural roofs are priced by area and access rather than as a flat fee, so expect a site visit to quote, and always ask for the consignment note afterwards.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
