About asbestos testing in Brighton and Hove
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Brighton and Hove use testing before small jobs: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. We often deal with black adhesive, soffit boards and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and something broken during building work.
We use the right protective equipment and keep people away while sampling, even for a single sample.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- We agree the number of samples and send a quote
- We take each sample safely and seal it
- The laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the result and explain it

Brighton: Schools such as Fairlight Primary School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works. On busy roads like the A23 and A259, parking can be tricky, so mention it when you get in touch.

Options to consider in Brighton and Hove
A test or a full survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough.
Questions to ask before you book
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Afterwards
If asbestos is found, we will explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Please do not take your own sample.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Testing does not look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
Brighton and Hove: your questions answered
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. We’ll tell you whether you need it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
