FAQs for Eythorne
Is asbestos common in Eythorne 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.
Do you work near Shepherds Well station?
Yes, we cover Eythorne and the area towards Shepherds Well station, about 1.8 miles west.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What happens if the test is positive?
We’ll explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Weighing up your options
No one can confirm asbestos from a picture. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
