Asbestos testing in Lullington
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? In Lullington, we take samples of suspect materials and send them to an accredited laboratory, so you have a written answer before any work starts. From soffit boards and tiles found under carpet, we deal with soffit boards, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In a village like Lullington, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

What we deal with in Lullington
Textured coatings, floor tiles, cement sheets and boards can all look the same with or without asbestos, so appearance and age aren’t enough.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- One-off checks in rented property
- Soffit boards
- Debris found after DIY
For an older property in Lullington, whether near Church of St. Andrew or not, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

The scope of asbestos testing
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a picture
- Testing does not look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Pipe lagging
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
- Floor tiles
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Garage roof sheets
- Panels behind heaters
- Bitumen adhesive
Looking after things afterwards
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Clear access to the area
- Group several materials into one visit
Avoid these
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Step by step
If we see anything else suspicious, we will tell you, so you can decide whether to test them too. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- We agree the number of samples and send a quote
- Samples are taken with controls
- The laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the result and explain it
Before we arrive
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports

Your options compared
A lab result is far more reliable than guessing from photos. We can tell you whether something looks like it could contain asbestos, but only a lab can confirm it. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Lullington questions
Do you work near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes. Berwick (Sussex) station is about 2.6 miles north of Lullington, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Lullington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
