Asbestos testing near Green Street Green
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Common materials are flue pipes, panels behind heaters and soffit boards, and typical jobs are one-off checks in rented property and panels behind old heaters.
Village homes in areas like Green Street Green often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Green Street Green
Do you cover Green Street Green from London?
We cover Green Street Green, about 17 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I take a sample myself?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, because the material has to be disturbed. We can do it for you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What it might be made of
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it is not 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’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Soffit boards
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Bitumen adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Garage roof sheets
- Roof felt
- Panels behind heaters
- Floor tiles
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Afterwards
File the results with your house paperwork, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
What to avoid
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Test before you book the builders, so there’s no delay later.
