Asbestos testing for Frithend properties
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Frithend use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. People often contact us about results builders ask for before work and panels behind old heaters, involving black adhesive, textured ceilings and soffit boards.
In places like Frithend, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Afterwards
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Group several materials into one visit
- Send photos of the material and where it is
What to avoid
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Frithend, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Where asbestos turns up
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- One-off checks in rented property
- Something broken during building work
If your home is one of the older properties in Frithend, near The Church Of The Good Shepherd or elsewhere, get suspect materials tested before you start.

Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
How many samples will I need?
Normally one per material, sometimes more. We’ll advise when you tell us what you are testing.
How we price asbestos testing
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The building’s size and layout
- The type of survey you need
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much there is
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The access route
- Cracks or breaks
- A picture of the whole area
- Where we could park
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
