Whether it’s soffit boards and corrugated roof sheets, we deal with textured ceilings, black adhesive and soffit boards and more.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Helpful guides
Your questions about asbestos testing in Lingfield
Do you cover Lingfield and the area around Lingfield station?
Yes, we cover Lingfield, including the streets around Lingfield station.
How far is Lingfield from London?
We cover Lingfield, about 23 miles from central London.
Should I use a home testing kit?
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.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
How many samples will I need?
Typically one for each different material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. Photos help us suggest a number.

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, because results can differ.
After the job
Each sample gets a written result, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Group several materials into one visit
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Let us know what you want to do next
Avoid these
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
