Asbestos testing in Pell Green
How asbestos testing works in Pell Green
Landlords, homeowners and contractors in Pell Green use testing before small jobs: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. Common materials are flue pipes, textured ceilings and floor tiles, and people typically contact us about corrugated roof sheets and a material damaged during DIY.
In a village like Pell Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Pell Green questions
Do you cover Pell Green and the area around Wadhurst station?
Yes, we cover Pell Green and the area towards Wadhurst station, about 1.5 miles west.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you test Artex in Pell Green?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Water tanks
- Soffit boards
- Garage roof sheets
- Bitumen adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Roof felt
- Panels behind heaters
Looking after things afterwards
A positive result is not a reason to panic: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Things not to do
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
Choosing the right option
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Condition assessed for every material
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
