Asbestos testing for Pachesham Park
About our asbestos testing in Pachesham Park
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. We use an accredited laboratory for every sample. People often contact us about single materials in rented homes between tenancies and textured ceilings before a renovation, including flue pipes, floor tiles and black adhesive.
Village homes in towns and villages like Pachesham Park often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal.
Keeping things safe:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Photos of the material help us plan
Things not to do
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and do not try to clean it up.
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
The process
We seal the sample point with a suitable sealant or tape, leaving the material safe while you wait for the result. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Send us photos of the material
- We check whether a test or a survey suits
- Our surveyor takes the samples
- The lab tests the samples
- We explain what the result means for your plans
Getting ready
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Make sure we can get to the area

Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How much there is
- How much sampling is needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Labels, if any
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance
- How we’d reach it
To get a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Roof felt
- Garage roof sheets
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles
- Soffit boards
- Panels behind heaters
- Bitumen adhesive
- Artex and textured ceilings
Weighing up your options
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Pachesham Park questions
Do you come out to small villages like Pachesham Park?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Pachesham Park contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
When will I get the result?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. We’ll give you an idea when we book the sampling.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, as it means disturbing the material. We can do it for you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
