Asbestos testing in Little London
Worried about an Artex ceiling, old floor tiles or a garage roof in Little London? Testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you’ll know what precautions are needed. Typical jobs include corrugated roof sheets and Artex before downlights or rewiring, involving floor tiles, garage roof sheets and flue pipes.
Rural properties near Little London may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
Afterwards
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Make the area easy to reach
- Send photos of the material and where it is
What to avoid
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
What we deal with in Little London
Many products were made both with and without asbestos, so you can’t go by looks or age alone.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Soffit boards
- A material damaged during DIY
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
If you let flats near Bramley (Hants) station, a single material can be tested between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
