Asbestos testing for Hartfield
Questions from Hartfield
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Hartfield homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you cover Hartfield?
We do: our area includes Hartfield and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Asbestos testing in Hartfield
If something has been damaged during work in Hartfield, stop first. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with, and what to do next. Whether it’s boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover flue pipes, textured ceilings and garage roof sheets and more.
Rural properties near Hartfield may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
Afterwards
File the results with your house paperwork, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
After we have finished:
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Group several materials into one visit
- Make the area easy to reach
Don’ts
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
What happens
Sampling a typical material takes a short time once we are set up; the laboratory analysis takes longer. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the material and send a photo
- We agree the number of samples and send a quote
- We take each sample safely and seal it
- An accredited lab analyses them
- You get the written result and our advice
Getting ready
