Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What it might be made of
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. A test tells you which.
Roof felt and mastics
Some bitumen products contain asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

FAQs for Snodland
Do you cover Snodland from London?
Snodland is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Snodland contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Snodland?
We do: our area includes Snodland and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Can you test Artex in Snodland?
Yes, we do: a small piece of the coating is sampled and analysed. Older textured coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What happens next
If no asbestos is found, work can normally go ahead normally.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
- Make the area easy to reach
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Do not touch it before we arrive
Avoid these
Please do not take your own sample.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
