About our asbestos testing in Milland
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. We often deal with black adhesive, soffit boards and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and boiler cupboard panels.
Rural properties near Milland may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Milland, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Options to consider in Milland
A test or a full survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
