Asbestos testing in Potter's Green

Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Textured coatings
A small sample of the coating is enough.
Potter's Green questions
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Potter's Green from London?
We cover Potter's Green, about 37 miles from central London.
Do you work in Potter's Green?
Yes, Potter's Green is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How long do test results take?
That depends on the laboratory. We will give you an idea when we book the sampling.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What we deal with in Potter's Green
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because taking a sample disturbs the material.

- Results builders ask for before work
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Soffit boards
Schools such as Buxted CofE Primary School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.

How we price asbestos testing
The price of asbestos testing depends mainly on:
- How big the building is
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How easy it is to reach
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
- Damaged areas
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
The scope of asbestos testing
What’s in and what’s out:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Make the area easy to reach
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
