Asbestos testing in Nashes Green
You can’t tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, which is what our testing service in Nashes Green provides. We often deal with garage roof sheets, panels behind heaters and flue pipes, and typical jobs are tiles found under carpet and debris found after DIY.
Rural properties near Nashes Green may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Nashes Green questions
Could my house in Nashes Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Nashes Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Nashes Green from London?
Nashes Green is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We’ll tell you the expected timing when we quote.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. We can take it for you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
The scope of asbestos testing
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What else we do in Nashes Green
Doing it yourself?

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