How asbestos testing works in Pagham
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we’ll explain what that means for your plans in Pagham. From Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we cover textured ceilings, floor tiles and black adhesive.
In a village like Pagham, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What else we do in Pagham
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials in Pagham
- Bitumen adhesive
- Roof felt
- Garage roof sheets
- Soffit boards
- Floor tiles
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Pipe lagging
Materials we deal with
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so the result matters.
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
Duty holders and landlords in Pagham
If your business premises in Pagham were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
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.
After the job
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
To avoid problems in future:
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Clear access to the area
- File the result with your property paperwork
- Let us know what you want to do next
Avoid these
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself.
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Doing it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
