Asbestos testing in Gossops Green

Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

- Each sample is taken carefully and sealed
- An accredited laboratory carries out the analysis

Helpful guides
Afterwards
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will usually be licensed, and we will explain what that involves.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Let us know what you want to do next
What to avoid
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Test before you book the builders, so you can plan properly.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The survey type
- The size and age of the building
- Parking and access charges
- The type of material and its condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Choosing the right option
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

- Domestic and commercial work

- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst

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