Asbestos testing in Filmore Hill
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. People often contact us about a material damaged during DIY and panels behind old heaters, involving garage roof sheets, textured ceilings and soffit boards.
Rural properties near Filmore Hill may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

FAQs for Filmore Hill
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Filmore Hill have asbestos?
If your home in Filmore Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Should I use a home testing kit?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you test Artex in Filmore Hill?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
What to avoid
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not try to clean it up.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Material and condition
- The number of materials to sample
- The size of the job
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
To get a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Filmore Hill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What we do and do not cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What it might be made of
Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Your options compared
Testing before work normally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
