About our asbestos testing in Hollington
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Hollington you are not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. Typical jobs include old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and answers trades need before starting, involving flue pipes, textured ceilings and panels behind heaters.
Properties in Hollington with outbuildings often have cement sheet roofs that are worth testing before repair. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Hollington questions
Could my house in Hollington contain asbestos?
If your home in Hollington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Hollington from London?
We cover Hollington, about 51 miles from central London.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you test Artex in Hollington?
Yes, we test textured coatings. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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.
How do I know if a material in Hollington contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Which option is right?
Air tests aren’t the same as material tests. After licensed work, an independent UKAS-accredited analyst carries out clearance testing. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles
- Bitumen adhesive
- Water tanks
- Soffit boards
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Pipe lagging
- Panels behind heaters
Looking after things afterwards
If asbestos is found, we’ll explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
A few practical points:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Group several materials into one visit
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Photos of the material help us plan
Don’ts
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Please do not take your own sample.
