Asbestos testing in Punnett's Town
Testing suits one or two specific materials. For larger projects in Punnett's Town, a survey covers more, and we’ll say which makes sense. Whether it’s porch canopies and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, we deal with panels behind heaters, floor tiles and soffit boards.
Rural properties near Punnett's Town may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What we deal with in Punnett's Town
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so pre-2000 buildings across East Sussex may have it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Something broken during building work
- Old floor tiles before a new floor goes down
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
At a school like Punnetts Town Community Primary School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, because results can differ.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings and walls are among the most common things people ask us to test. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- Access to the area
- The type of survey you need
- How big the building is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Cracks or breaks
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An overall view
- The access route
