Helpful guides
Asbestos testing near Bramber
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. We often deal with black adhesive, floor tiles and panels behind heaters, and typical jobs are a material damaged during DIY and boiler cupboard panels.
Rural properties near Bramber may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Questions from Bramber
Do you cover Bramber from London?
Bramber is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Shoreham-By-Sea station?
Yes, we cover Bramber and the area towards Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 4.1 miles south-east.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work in Bramber?
We do: our area includes Bramber and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Travel and parking
- How big the building is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send:
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Afterwards
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear access to the area
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
Avoid these
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.

- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
