Asbestos testing for Burchett's Green properties

Your questions about asbestos testing in Burchett's Green
Do older homes in Burchett's Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Burchett's Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Burchett's Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you test textured ceilings?
We do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What we deal with in Burchett's Green
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
These are some of the things we deal with in Burchett's Green:
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Porch canopies
- Tiles found under carpet
- Boiler cupboard panels
Parents and staff at schools such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School can ask about the school’s asbestos management.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Looking after things afterwards
If no asbestos is found, work can normally go ahead normally, and you can show the result to your builder.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Group several materials into one visit
What to avoid
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
What it might be made of
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
