Asbestos testing near Easebourne
Asbestos testing near Easebourne
You can’t tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, which is what our testing service in Easebourne provides. Typical materials include floor tiles, garage roof sheets and soffit boards, and people usually contact us about single materials in rented homes between tenancies and answers trades need before starting.
Rural properties near Easebourne may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Weighing up your options
Testing before work generally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Easebourne questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Easebourne homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Easebourne may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Easebourne?
Yes. We cover Easebourne and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
