For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Cranbourne must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Asbestos testing for Cranbourne properties
A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Cranbourne, a survey covers more, and we will tell you honestly which you need. From answers trades need before starting and checks before maintenance in rented homes, we deal with textured ceilings, flue pipes and soffit boards.
In places like Cranbourne, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Where asbestos turns up
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Answers trades need before starting
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
If you live in an older house in Cranbourne, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.

Common questions in Cranbourne
Is asbestos common in Cranbourne homes?
If your home in Cranbourne 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 Cranbourne from London?
We cover Cranbourne, about 25 miles from central London.
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.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do you work in Cranbourne?

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
