Asbestos testing near Peacehaven

For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Choosing the right option
How many samples? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

FAQs for Peacehaven
Do older homes in Peacehaven have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Peacehaven may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Newhaven Town station?
Yes. Newhaven Town station is about 2.1 miles east of Peacehaven, and we cover both.
Do you cover Peacehaven?
Yes, we do: our area includes Peacehaven and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.

If asbestos is found, we will explain your options: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
