Asbestos testing for Eyhorne Street properties
A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Eyhorne Street, a survey covers more, and we’ll tell you honestly which you need. People often contact us about answers trades need before starting and corrugated roof sheets, including black adhesive, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In a village like Eyhorne Street, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, because results can differ.
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Bitumen adhesive
- Panels behind heaters
- Soffit boards
- Pipe lagging
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Floor tiles
- Roof felt
- Water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Eyhorne Street: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Eyhorne Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Hollingbourne station?
Yes, we cover Eyhorne Street, including the streets around Hollingbourne station.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Do you test textured ceilings?
We do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
We don’t carry out air testing ourselves: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. Ask and we’ll explain.
