Asbestos testing for Bramdean properties
Sampling is done carefully: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Common materials are flue pipes, soffit boards and panels behind heaters, and typical jobs are soffit boards and something broken during building work.
Village homes in towns and villages like Bramdean often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
After we’ve finished in Bramdean
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so it’s safe while you wait.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
What to avoid
Please do not take your own sample.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not try to clean it up.

Bramdean: your questions answered
Do you cover Bramdean from London?
We cover Bramdean, about 54 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Bramdean have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bramdean may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
We do not carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Common reasons for tests in Bramdean
Many trades will not touch older ceilings or floors without a test, and a written lab result gives them what they need.
Typical jobs in Bramdean include:
- Panels behind old heaters
- Results builders ask for before work
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
For an older property in Bramdean, whether near Church of St Simon and St Jude or not, a quick test before work is sensible.
