Need asbestos testing in Lower Green?
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
About our asbestos testing in Lower Green
Before small jobs in Lower Green, people often test first: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. Typical materials include black adhesive, garage roof sheets and panels behind heaters, and typical jobs are garage roofs before replacement and lab results for contractors before they start.
In a village like Lower Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Lower Green
Do you cover Lower Green from London?
We cover Lower Green, about 47 miles from central London.
Do you work near Liss station?
Yes. Liss station is about 2.3 miles south-east of Lower Green, and we cover both.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you test Artex in Lower Green?
We do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Some older coatings contain a little asbestos.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
- Floor tiles
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Bitumen adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Garage roof sheets

Afterwards
A positive result is not a reason to panic: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Clear access to the area
- Let us know what you want to do next
Don’ts
Please don’t take your own sample; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Lower Green were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
