Asbestos testing in Liverton Street
Asbestos testing for Liverton Street properties
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Liverton Street you are not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you will know what precautions are needed. People often contact us about old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and debris found after DIY, involving garage roof sheets, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
In a village like Liverton Street, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Liverton Street
Do you work near Lenham station?
Yes. Lenham station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Liverton Street, and we cover both.
Do you cover Liverton Street from London?
We cover Liverton Street, about 39 miles from central London.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
