Asbestos testing in Snagshall
Testing suits one or two specific materials. If you are planning bigger work in Snagshall, a survey of the areas affected is typically better, and we’ll tell you honestly which you need. We often deal with soffit boards, garage roof sheets and panels behind heaters, and typical jobs are floor tiles and black adhesive and porch canopies.
In a village like Snagshall, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Where asbestos turns up
A test can stop you paying for removal you don’t need, which saves time and money.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Debris found after DIY
- Textured ceilings before a renovation
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Soffit boards
At a school like Bodiam Church of England Primary School, the duty holder keeps asbestos records, which staff and parents can ask about.

Questions from Snagshall
Is asbestos common in Snagshall homes?
Any home in Snagshall built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
When will I get the result?
Timing varies with the lab’s workload. You will get an estimate when we quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Materials, one by one
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Snagshall, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Samples are small, bagged, labelled and recorded, then go off to the lab. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Send us photos of the material
