If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Batt's Corner, stop and keep people away from it. A test will show whether it contains asbestos, and what to do next. Common materials are textured ceilings, soffit boards and black adhesive, and people generally contact us about Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and soffits and porch canopies before replacement.
In a village like Batt's Corner, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Batt's Corner questions
How far is Batt's Corner from London?
Batt's Corner is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Batt's Corner?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I know if a material in Batt's Corner contains asbestos?
Not reliably by eye: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Yes, Batt's Corner is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What affects the price in Batt's Corner
Prices vary with:
- The size and age of the building
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Batt's Corner, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
