About our asbestos testing in Nash
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? We sample suspect materials in Nash and have them analysed by an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. From Artex before downlights or rewiring and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, we cover flue pipes, garage roof sheets and panels behind heaters and more.
Village homes in places like Nash often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough.
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Nash questions
Do you cover small places like Nash?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Nash contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How long do test results take?
That depends on the laboratory. We will give you an idea when we book the sampling.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. We can take it for you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
