About our asbestos testing in Lingfield Common
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Typical jobs include answers trades need before starting and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, including flue pipes, soffit boards and black adhesive.
In towns and villages like Lingfield Common, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

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.

After the job

- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Clear access to the area
Things not to do
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.
Materials we deal with
Flues and tanks
Testing them before removal avoids surprises.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.

Common questions in Lingfield Common
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Lingfield Common have asbestos?
Any home in Lingfield Common built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
Can you test Artex in Lingfield Common?
We do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
We will explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
