Asbestos testing in Ellisfield
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Ellisfield you are not sure about, testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you’ll know what precautions are needed.

Ellisfield: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Ellisfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Ellisfield have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you cover Ellisfield?
Yes, Ellisfield is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

Options to consider in Ellisfield
Testing before work generally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
