People often contact us about checks before maintenance in rented homes and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, involving panels behind heaters, flue pipes and black adhesive.
Village homes in areas like Pamber Heath often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes

- Porch canopies

Pamber Heath questions
Do you cover small places like Pamber Heath?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Pamber Heath from London?
We cover Pamber Heath, about 45 miles from central London.
Can I take a sample myself?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, because the material has to be disturbed. Ask us to take it.
What happens if the test is positive?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do I need more than one sample?
Normally one per material, sometimes more. Photos help us suggest a number.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
What happens next
Keep the results with your property records, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Make the area easy to reach
- File the result with your property paperwork
Avoid these
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.

Roof felt and mastics
We can test felt before a flat roof is replaced.
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so the result matters.
Weighing up your options
A test or a full survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. Small jobs generally just need a test. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
