Asbestos testing for Loyterton
Asbestos testing in Loyterton
We take each sample with controls to keep dust down: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and one-off checks in rented property, including garage roof sheets, flue pipes and textured ceilings.
In a village like Loyterton, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Loyterton: your questions answered
Do you cover Loyterton and the area around Teynham station?
Yes, we cover Loyterton and the area towards Teynham station, about 1.8 miles north.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
How we price asbestos testing
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How big the building is
- The type of material and its condition
- The type of survey you need
- How much there is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A clear close-up

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Looking after things afterwards
File the results with your house paperwork, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
A few practical points:
- Clear access to the area
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Group several materials into one visit
- File the result with your property paperwork
Avoid these
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
