Asbestos help in Nyetimber
Asbestos testing for Nyetimber properties
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Typical materials include black adhesive, garage roof sheets and soffit boards, and typical jobs are single materials in rented homes between tenancies and boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Homes in towns and villages like Nyetimber with older garages and outbuildings often have cement sheet roofs that are worth testing before repair. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

After we’ve finished in Nyetimber
If no asbestos is found, work can usually go ahead normally.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Clear access to the area
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
Avoid these
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
For managing agents and freeholders in Nyetimber, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

On the day, we confirm which materials to sample and where, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

If you’re a letting agent with homes near Bognor Regis station, testing before work avoids delays. The coast is within about 3 miles; weathered soffits and canopies on coastal homes are worth testing before replacement.

What we deal with in Nyetimber
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may have it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Panels behind old heaters
- Soffits and porch canopies before replacement
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
If you work at a school like Rose Green Infant School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.
Questions to ask before you book
- How many samples are included
- Areas included and excluded
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What the report or result will contain
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Nyetimber
Do you work near Bognor Regis station?
Yes. Bognor Regis station is about 2.6 miles east of Nyetimber, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Nyetimber have 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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: after licensed work, an independent analyst accredited by UKAS does the clearance. Ask and we will explain.
Which option is right?
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when everything stops and areas may need cleaning. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
