Asbestos testing in Broadbridge
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Typical materials include panels behind heaters, floor tiles and garage roof sheets, and typical jobs are something broken during building work and answers trades need before starting.
Village homes in places like Broadbridge often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

If you work at a school like Bosham Primary School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.

FAQs for Broadbridge
Do you cover Broadbridge from London?
Broadbridge is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Broadbridge and the area around Bosham station?
Yes. Bosham station is close to the centre of Broadbridge, and we cover the whole area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need more than one sample?
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’re testing.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Broadbridge, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
Options to consider in Broadbridge
One sample or several? Different materials, and sometimes the same material in different places, need separate samples. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

The scope of asbestos testing
Some limits to bear in mind:

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
