About our asbestos testing in Hurstpierpoint
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. From boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, we cover black adhesive, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
In a smaller place like Hurstpierpoint, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding, as well as ceilings and floors in the house. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may have it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Hurstpierpoint:
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- One-off checks in rented property
- Lab results for contractors before they start
If you work at a school like St Lawrence CofE Primary School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Garage roof sheets
- Bitumen adhesive
- Roof felt
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Flue pipes
- Pipe lagging
- Soffit boards
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
Afterwards
A positive result is not a reason to panic: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Clear access to the area
Avoid these
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
Common questions in Hurstpierpoint
Is asbestos common in Hurstpierpoint homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hurstpierpoint may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Hassocks station?
Yes. Hassocks station is about 1.5 miles south-east of Hurstpierpoint, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What happens if the test is positive?
You’ll know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What happens
If we spot other materials that might contain asbestos, we will mention them, in case you want them tested as well. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
