Asbestos testing in Lions Green
A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Lions Green, a survey covers more, and we will say which makes sense. People often contact us about porch canopies and debris found after DIY, involving panels behind heaters, soffit boards and garage roof sheets.
In a village like Lions Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Places near Lions Green
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
How it works
Samples are small, bagged, labelled and recorded, then go off to the lab. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the material and send a photo
- We quote for the samples needed
- We take each sample with wetting and controls, and seal it
- An accredited laboratory carries out the analysis
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Helpful guides
Questions from Lions Green
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.
How far is Lions Green from London?
We cover Lions Green, about 41 miles from central London.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Can you test Artex in Lions Green?
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 for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
After the job
File the results with your house paperwork, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Group several materials into one visit
Avoid these
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
What it might be made of
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
What affects the price in Lions Green
What drives the price:
- How big the building is
- What the material is and its state
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The quantity or area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
For businesses and landlords in Lions Green
For managing agents and freeholders in Lions Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you run a business from older premises in Lions Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Where asbestos turns up
Builders and plasterers increasingly ask for a test result before starting work on older surfaces, and a written lab result gives them what they need.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
- Tiles found under carpet
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Garage roofs before replacement
If you live in an older house in Lions Green, test any suspect materials before renovation.
Before booking anyone
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether VAT is included
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Which option is right?
No one can confirm asbestos from a photo. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
