About our asbestos testing in Hundred Acres
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Hundred Acres use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. We often deal with soffit boards, garage roof sheets and flue pipes, and typical jobs are soffit boards and garage roofs before replacement.
Village homes in areas like Hundred Acres often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

A closer look at the materials
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. Testing identifies them.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Hundred Acres questions
How far is Hundred Acres from London?
Hundred Acres is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Hundred Acres contain asbestos?

Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
