Asbestos testing for Pinkneys Green properties
A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. If you are planning bigger work in Pinkneys Green, a survey of the areas affected is usually better, and we will tell you honestly which you need. Typical materials include textured ceilings, black adhesive and soffit boards, and typical jobs are old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and one-off checks in rented property.
Properties in Pinkneys Green with outbuildings may have roofs worth testing before work. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Pinkneys Green
Do older homes in Pinkneys Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Pinkneys Green and the area around Furze Platt station?
Yes, we cover Pinkneys Green and the area towards Furze Platt station, about 1.4 miles east.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We will give you an idea when we book.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
For businesses and landlords in Pinkneys Green
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Looking after things afterwards
File the results with your house paperwork, as they’re useful when you sell or carry out more work.
To avoid problems in future:
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
Don’ts
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t try to clean it up.
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.

Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
