What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and does not cover:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Bitumen adhesive
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Soffit boards
- Pipe lagging
- Garage roof sheets
- Water tanks
- Panels behind heaters
- Floor tiles
- Roof felt
- Flue pipes
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Your questions about asbestos testing in Saint Hill Green
How far is Saint Hill Green from London?
Saint Hill Green is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Saint Hill Green?
Yes. We cover Saint Hill Green and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not reliably by eye: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask and we’ll explain.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
