Asbestos testing near Littleworth

Common reasons for tests in Littleworth
Many trades will not touch older ceilings or floors without a test, and a written lab result gives them what they need.
In older properties, we often see:
- Results builders ask for before work
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
For older homes anywhere in Littleworth, from near The Granary Church outwards, a quick test before work is sensible.

How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What happens if the test is positive?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we’ll talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.

It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Limits to be aware of
