Asbestos testing in Littlefield Green
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. From old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we cover soffit boards, floor tiles and garage roof sheets and more.
Rural properties near Littlefield Green may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Duty holders and landlords in Littlefield Green
If you manage or own a block in Littlefield Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Littlefield Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey

What we deal with in Littlefield Green
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so materials in homes and buildings across Windsor and Maidenhead built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Porch canopies
- Corrugated roof sheets
If you work at a school like Holyport College, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

FAQs for Littlefield Green
Do you cover Littlefield Green from London?
We cover Littlefield Green, about 29 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Littlefield Green homes?
If your home in Littlefield Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What happens if the test is positive?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we’ll talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Choosing the right option
Home testing kits are available, but you take the sample yourself, which means disturbing the material. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What you get
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Each material’s condition recorded
