Asbestos testing near Roser's Cross
Asbestos testing near Roser's Cross
A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. If you’re planning bigger work in Roser's Cross, a survey of the areas affected is usually better, and we’ll tell you honestly which you need. We often deal with soffit boards, black adhesive and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and tiles found under carpet.
Rural properties near Roser's Cross may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. Testing identifies them.
For businesses and landlords in Roser's Cross
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Questions from Roser's Cross
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.
Do you cover Roser's Cross from London?
Roser's Cross is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Bitumen adhesive
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Water tanks
- Roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Garage roof sheets
