Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Best Beech Hill
Could my house in Best Beech Hill contain asbestos?
If your home in Best Beech Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Best Beech Hill from London?
We cover Best Beech Hill, about 34 miles from central London.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Options to consider in Best Beech Hill
No one can confirm asbestos from a photo. Photos help us plan, but the lab gives the answer. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
Flues and tanks are often asbestos cement.
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
For businesses and landlords in Best Beech Hill
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Best Beech Hill must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Afterwards
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Make the area easy to reach
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
Things not to do
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
