Asbestos testing for Christmas Pie properties
Testing suits one or two specific materials. If you are planning bigger work in Christmas Pie, a survey of the areas affected is generally better, and we will say which makes sense. From Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we deal with black adhesive, panels behind heaters and flue pipes.
Rural properties near Christmas Pie may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, as one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge.
Looking after things afterwards
A positive result is not a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Make the area easy to reach
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Photos of the material help us plan
What to avoid
Test before you book the builders, so you can plan properly.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself.

Common questions in Christmas Pie
Do older homes in Christmas Pie have asbestos?
If your home in Christmas Pie was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Christmas Pie?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you test Artex in Christmas Pie?
We do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Duty holders and landlords in Christmas Pie
If you manage or own a block in Christmas Pie, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
