About our asbestos testing in Allhallows-on-Sea
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. People often contact us about one-off checks in rented property and answers trades need before starting, involving textured ceilings, panels behind heaters and flue pipes.
In a village like Allhallows-on-Sea, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What we do and don’t cover
Before booking, note that:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many different materials need sampling
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Duty holders and landlords in Allhallows-on-Sea
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 the duty to manage applies.
The process
We start by agreeing exactly what to sample, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm a test is the right choice, rather than a survey
- We visit and take the samples
- The lab tests the samples
- You get the result with advice on next steps
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
