Asbestos testing in Postling Green
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Whether it’s lab results for contractors before they start and boiler cupboard panels, we deal with panels behind heaters, soffit boards and garage roof sheets and more.
Rural properties near Postling Green may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Questions from Postling Green
Do you come out to small villages like Postling Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Postling Green and the area around Westenhanger station?
Yes. Westenhanger station is about 3.5 miles east of Postling Green, and we cover both.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
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, and ask for advice.

Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so the result matters.
