Your questions about asbestos testing in Bepton
Do you cover Bepton from London?
We cover Bepton, about 48 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Bepton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bepton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you test Artex in Bepton?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.

Asbestos testing in Bepton
Before small jobs in Bepton, people often test first: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. From garage roofs before replacement and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, we deal with panels behind heaters, soffit boards and textured ceilings and more.
Village homes in places like Bepton often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

A positive result isn’t a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Clear access to the area
