Asbestos testing in Eridge Green
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. From boiler cupboard panels and tiles found under carpet, we deal with textured ceilings, soffit boards and panels behind heaters and more.
In places like Eridge Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Looking after things afterwards
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear access to the area
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Photos of the material help us plan
- File the result with your property paperwork
Avoid these
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Eridge Green
Is asbestos common in Eridge Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you test Artex in Eridge Green?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do you cover Eridge Green?
Yes. We cover Eridge Green and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
