About our asbestos testing in Goose Green
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Goose Green you are not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Typical materials include garage roof sheets, panels behind heaters and soffit boards, and typical jobs are porch canopies and results builders ask for before work.
Rural properties near Goose Green may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

After the job
We seal the sample point when sampling, so it’s safe while you wait.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Things not to do
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not try to clean it up.

What else we do in Goose Green
Testing materials in Goose Green
Goose Green is about 9 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Goose Green is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We cover 371 places across West Sussex. Our area stretches from Goose Green to Crawley (about 14 miles away).
At a school like Rydon Community College, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about. If you are a letting agent with homes near Billingshurst station, a single material can be tested between tenancies. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles, where cement sheeting on outbuildings is common.
Tests anywhere in RH20 start with the postcode and some photos. Local streets include Goosegreen Lane and Cray's Lane; we cover every one. Neighbouring places we cover include Thakeham (1 mile south-west), Warminghurst (1 mile south), Abingworth (1 mile south-west), West Chiltington (2 miles west) and Heath Common (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also work in Crawley (14 miles north-east), Horsham (9 miles north-east), Worthing (9 miles south), Haywards Heath (14 miles east), Burgess Hill (12 miles east) and Littlehampton (11 miles south-west).
A little further out are The Storrington And District Museum (3.1 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Chanctonbury Hill and Knepp Wildland.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Goose Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you run a business from older premises in Goose Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Which option is right?
A lab result is far more reliable than guessing from photos. 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 photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Recommendations in plain English

Common questions in Goose Green
Do you cover Goose Green from London?
We cover Goose Green, about 40 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Goose Green have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you test Artex in Goose Green?
Yes, we do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Common reasons for tests in Goose Green
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples, since sampling disturbs the material.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Results builders ask for before work
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
For an older property in Goose Green, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary or not, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.
