Asbestos testing for East Street properties
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in East Street you’re not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you’ll know what precautions are needed. Whether it’s lab results for contractors before they start and a material damaged during DIY, we cover flue pipes, black adhesive and textured ceilings and more.
Rural properties near East Street may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Afterwards
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Let us know what you want to do next
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Group several materials into one visit
What to avoid
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.

How we price asbestos testing
What changes the cost:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size of the job
- How many different materials need sampling
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks
- The parking area
- The access route
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Responsibilities for owners
