A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. If you’re planning bigger work in Enton Green, a survey of the areas affected is usually better, and we’ll tell you honestly which you need. Typical jobs include textured ceilings before a renovation and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving black adhesive, panels behind heaters and floor tiles.
In a village like Enton Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Duty holders and landlords in Enton Green

FAQs for Enton Green
Do you cover small places like Enton Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Enton Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Enton Green can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
How do I know if a material in Enton Green contains asbestos?
Not by looking: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you test Artex in Enton Green?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
The scope of asbestos testing
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it does not:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in Enton Green
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Soffit boards

After the job

- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
Things not to do
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
