Asbestos testing for Molash properties
Asbestos testing tells you whether a specific material contains asbestos In Molash, 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 lab results for contractors before they start, we deal with floor tiles, soffit boards and panels behind heaters and more.
In a village like Molash, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
A closer look at the materials
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so it’s worth knowing.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Doing it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Molash: your questions answered
Could my house in Molash contain asbestos?
If your home in Molash was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Molash from London?
Molash is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What happens next
You get a written laboratory result for each sample, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
Things not to do
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
