About our asbestos testing in Hurst Green
You can’t tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, and that’s what we arrange in Hurst Green. From tiles found under carpet and corrugated roof sheets, we cover black adhesive, panels behind heaters and floor tiles and more.
Rural properties near Hurst Green may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What we deal with in Hurst Green
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so appearance and age are not enough.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Porch canopies
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
If you let property close to Etchingham station, you can test a material while the property is empty.

Hurst Green: your questions answered
Could my house in Hurst Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hurst Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We sample it and have it analysed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do I need more than one sample?
Generally one for each different material, sometimes more. Photos help us suggest a number.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Weighing up your options
A lab result is far more reliable than guessing from photos. Photos help us plan, but the lab gives the answer. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

The scope of asbestos testing
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
