About our asbestos testing in Nash Street
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Nash Street, stop and keep people away from it. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with, and what to do next. We often deal with textured ceilings, floor tiles and garage roof sheets, and people usually contact us about a material damaged during DIY and floor tiles and black adhesive.
In a village like Nash Street, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and does not cover:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with

Do you work near Meopham station?

Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We’ll tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Do you test textured ceilings?
Yes, we do: we take a small sample of the coating for the lab. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.

What you get
- Condition assessed for every material

Duty holders and landlords in Nash Street

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we deal with in Nash Street
A test can stop you paying for removal you don’t need, which saves time and money.

- Results builders ask for before work
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
