Asbestos testing in Bognor Regis
Asbestos testing near Bognor Regis
Testing suits one or two specific materials. If you’re planning bigger work in Bognor Regis, a survey of the areas affected is generally better, and we will say which makes sense. Typical materials include textured ceilings, black adhesive and garage roof sheets, and typical jobs are soffit boards and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down.
Testing in Bognor Regis covers homes and workplaces alike, from textured ceilings to floor tiles and roof sheets. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Bognor Regis
Do you work near Bognor Regis station?
Yes. Bognor Regis station is about 0.5 miles south-east of Bognor Regis, and we cover both.
Could my house in Bognor Regis contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bognor Regis can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll advise when you tell us what you are testing.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal.
Keeping things safe:
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Photos of the material help us plan
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Clear access to the area
Things not to do
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Which option is right?
Air tests aren’t the same as material tests. After licensed work, an independent UKAS-accredited analyst carries out clearance testing. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Covering London and the South East
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Domestic and commercial work
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
Take a look at how we price jobs and our cost guide.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The building’s size and layout
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much sampling is needed
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings, floor tiles, cement sheets and boards can all look the same with or without asbestos, so appearance and age aren’t enough.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Porch canopies
For older homes anywhere in Bognor Regis, from near Church of St Mary Magdalene outwards, get suspect materials tested before you start.

Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bognor Regis, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so the result matters.
