Landlords, managing agents and employers

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Where asbestos turns up
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Garage roofs before replacement
If you let property close to Godstone station, a single material can be tested between tenancies.
Before booking anyone
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether VAT is included
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
The process
We wear suitable protective equipment and keep the work area clear, even for a single sample. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the material and send a photo
- You get a quote for the samples needed
- We take each sample safely and seal it
- An accredited lab analyses them
- You get the written result and our advice
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Do not disturb the material before we get there

Anglefield Corner questions
Do you cover small places like Anglefield Corner?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Anglefield Corner have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Anglefield Corner can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Anglefield Corner?
Yes, Anglefield Corner is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. We can take it for you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How do I know if a material in Anglefield Corner contains asbestos?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Soffit boards
- Water tanks
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings

Looking after things afterwards
