Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
How asbestos testing works in Chilton Green
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. That’s safer than breaking off a piece yourself. Whether it’s one-off checks in rented property and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, we deal with textured ceilings, soffit boards and flue pipes.
Rural properties near Chilton Green may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Which option is right?
How many samples? Different materials, and sometimes the same material in different places, need separate samples. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Helpful guides
Chilton Green questions
Do you cover small places like Chilton Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Chilton 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 Chilton Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How many samples will I need?
Normally one per material, sometimes more. Photos help us suggest a number.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
Do you cover Chilton Green?
We do: Chilton Green is within the area we cover in the Isle of Wight. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
