Asbestos help in Eastrop
How asbestos testing works in Eastrop
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. We often deal with soffit boards, flue pipes and textured ceilings, and people usually contact us about tiles found under carpet and garage roofs before replacement.
In a smaller place like Eastrop, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Eastrop
Do older homes in Eastrop have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Eastrop may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Eastrop from London?
Eastrop is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Helpful guides
After the job
If asbestos is found, we will explain your options: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
Keeping things safe:
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Group several materials into one visit
What to avoid
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.

- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
