About our asbestos testing in Langley Green
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Langley Green use testing before small jobs: replacing a ceiling, lifting a floor, taking down a garage roof or fitting new soffits. Typical jobs include tiles found under carpet and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including garage roof sheets, floor tiles and soffit boards.
Properties in Langley Green with outbuildings may have roofs worth testing before work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

The usual limits are:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, as one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Langley Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Langley Green questions
Do you work near Crawley station?
Yes. Crawley station is about 1.4 miles south of Langley Green, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Langley Green have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
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.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. If you are unsure, ask us to take it.
Do you test textured ceilings?
We do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do you work in Langley Green?
Yes, Langley Green is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What we deal with in Langley Green
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so appearance and age are not enough.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Something broken during building work
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Panels behind old heaters
If you work at a school like Langley Green Primary, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
