Asbestos testing near Hamsey 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. Typical materials include flue pipes, panels behind heaters and black adhesive, and people typically contact us about single materials in rented homes between tenancies and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Village homes in towns and villages like Hamsey Green often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Your options compared
How many samples? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Should you do it yourself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Common questions in Hamsey Green
Do you cover small places like Hamsey Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Hamsey Green and the area around Upper Warlingham station?
Yes. Upper Warlingham station is about 1 mile south-west of Hamsey Green, and we cover both.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. If you are unsure, ask us to take it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Hamsey Green, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
