About our asbestos testing in Hodsoll Street
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Hodsoll Street? A sample test gives you an answer. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you’ll know what precautions are needed. Common materials are black adhesive, floor tiles and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and single materials in rented homes between tenancies.
In a village like Hodsoll Street, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Hodsoll Street: your questions answered
Do you cover Hodsoll Street and the area around Meopham station?

How far is Hodsoll Street from London?
Hodsoll Street is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?

Do you work in Hodsoll Street?
Yes, we do: our area includes Hodsoll Street and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

What we deal with in Hodsoll Street
A test can stop you paying for removal you do not need, which saves time and money.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Soffit boards
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Answers trades need before starting
At a school like Culverstone Green Primary School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.

- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- The number of samples
- Whether VAT is included
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
The scope of asbestos testing
Before booking, note that:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
After we’ve finished in Hodsoll Street
A positive result isn’t a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
A few practical points:
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Clear access to the area
- Photos of the material help us plan
Avoid these
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
How we price asbestos testing
Quotes vary because of:
- The survey type
- The type of material and its condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The quantity or area
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Visible markings
- The parking area
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
