About our asbestos testing in Meopham
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we’ll explain your options. From single materials in rented homes between tenancies and porch canopies, we cover panels behind heaters, textured ceilings and soffit boards.
In a smaller place like Meopham, testing is often for a garage roof, a shed or an old outbuilding. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Meopham
Do you cover Meopham and the area around Meopham station?
Yes, we cover Meopham and the area towards Meopham station, about 0.5 miles north.
Do older homes in Meopham have asbestos?
If your home in Meopham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.

What does licensed work mean?

Helpful guides
After we have finished in Meopham
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal, and you can show the result to your builder.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask us if you’re unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Clear access to the area
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
What to avoid
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If your business premises in Meopham were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
