Asbestos testing for Skittle Green properties
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. That’s safer than breaking off a piece yourself. Typical jobs include answers trades need before starting and one-off checks in rented property, involving black adhesive, garage roof sheets and panels behind heaters.
Village homes in places like Skittle Green often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
