About our asbestos testing in Little Kimble
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we’ll explain your options. Whether it’s answers trades need before starting and garage roofs before replacement, we cover garage roof sheets, flue pipes and floor tiles.
Rural properties near Little Kimble may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Looking after things afterwards
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will usually be licensed, and we will explain what that involves.
Some practical advice:
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
Avoid these
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials
- Bitumen adhesive
- Floor tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Garage roof sheets
- Panels behind heaters
- Roof felt
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Soffit boards
Typical tests in Little Kimble
Most exposure happens when someone disturbs a material without knowing it contains asbestos. A test beforehand prevents it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Porch canopies
- Debris found after DIY
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Tiles found under carpet
Parents and staff at schools such as Great Kimble Church of England School can ask about the school’s asbestos management.

Weighing up your options
One sample or several? Different materials, and sometimes the same material in different places, need separate samples. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

DIY and asbestos
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
