Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
About our asbestos testing in Crowell Hill
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Crowell Hill? Testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you will know what precautions are needed. We often deal with garage roof sheets, textured ceilings and black adhesive, and typical jobs are single materials in rented homes between tenancies and soffit boards.
Rural properties near Crowell Hill may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

The scope of asbestos testing
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Water tanks
- Panels behind heaters
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles
- Bitumen adhesive
- Flue pipes
Which option is right?
A lab result is far more reliable than guessing from photos. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Clear advice on your options
- Practical recommendations

Crowell Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Crowell Hill from London?
We cover Crowell Hill, about 37 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Crowell Hill have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you’re planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.

Quotes vary because of:

- What the material is and its state

After we’ve finished in Crowell Hill
A positive result isn’t a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
