Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
For businesses and landlords in Lamberhurst Quarter
For managing agents and freeholders in Lamberhurst Quarter, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What happens next
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so it’s safe while you wait.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
What to avoid
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.

FAQs for Lamberhurst Quarter
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Lamberhurst Quarter from London?
Lamberhurst Quarter is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.
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. Ask and we’ll explain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How long do test results take?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We’ll tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
