Asbestos testing near Kingston near Lewes
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Whether it’s one-off checks in rented property and a material damaged during DIY, we cover flue pipes, garage roof sheets and black adhesive.
Rural properties near Kingston near Lewes may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Common questions in Kingston near Lewes
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Lewes station?
Yes, we cover Kingston near Lewes and the area towards Lewes station, about 1.8 miles north-east.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. We’ll tell you if your job needs it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Looking after things afterwards
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we will explain what happens then.
Some practical advice:
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Group several materials into one visit
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
