Asbestos testing in Furner's Green
Furner's Green questions
Do you come out to small villages like Furner's Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Furner's Green and the area around Haywards Heath station?
Yes, we cover Furner's Green and the area towards Haywards Heath station, about 5 miles west.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not reliably by eye: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Furner's Green, a survey covers more, and we’ll say which makes sense.

Materials, one by one
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
