About our asbestos testing in Stalisfield Green
A test answers one question: is this material asbestos?

Typical jobs include boiler cupboard panels and debris found after DIY, including garage roof sheets, flue pipes and panels behind heaters.
In a village like Stalisfield Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Stalisfield Green: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Stalisfield Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Stalisfield Green homes?
Any home in Stalisfield Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
What happens if the test is positive?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you cover Stalisfield Green?
Yes, Stalisfield Green is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Helpful guides
What happens next
Each sample gets a written result, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
Keeping things safe:
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Group several materials into one visit
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- File the result with your property paperwork
What to avoid
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
The scope of asbestos testing
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
