Asbestos testing for Little Posbrook properties
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Little Posbrook you are not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you’ll know what precautions are needed.

Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Little Posbrook, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test them before they come up.
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough, from a discreet spot.
Looking after things afterwards
A positive result isn’t a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Clear access to the area
Avoid these
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Get the result before work is booked, so there’s no delay later.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos testing:
- The type of material and its condition
