Asbestos testing for Northbridge Street
A closer look at the materials

A test before removal is a good idea.
Cement sheets
Garage and shed roofs are often tested. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
How asbestos testing works in Northbridge Street
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos? In Northbridge Street, we take samples of suspect materials and send them to an accredited laboratory, so you know before you drill, sand or remove anything. Typical jobs include floor tiles and black adhesive and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving panels behind heaters, flue pipes and textured ceilings.
Rural properties near Northbridge Street may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Which option is right?
No one can confirm asbestos from a picture. Photos help us plan, but the lab gives the answer. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Duty holders and landlords in Northbridge Street
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Your questions about asbestos testing in Northbridge Street
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
