After the job
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will normally be licensed, and we’ll explain what that involves.
Going forward:
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Tell us what work you are planning
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 don’t try to clean it up.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The number of materials to sample
- How big the building is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The type of material and its condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A picture of the whole area
- An idea of size

Hall's Green questions
Do older homes in Hall's Green have asbestos?
If your home in Hall's Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Hall's Green from London?
Hall's Green is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we’ll talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do you work in Hall's Green?
Yes. We cover Hall's Green and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I know if a material in Hall's Green contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Why people call us in Hall's Green
The risk generally comes from drilling or sanding something nobody had tested. Testing first avoids that.
