About our asbestos testing in Stone Hill
If something has been damaged during work in Stone Hill, stop first. A test will show whether it contains asbestos, and what to do next. People often contact us about old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and boiler cupboard panels, including panels behind heaters, soffit boards and black adhesive.
Rural properties near Stone Hill may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Afterwards
Each sample gets a written result, stating whether asbestos was detected and what type.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Make the area easy to reach
- Tell us if there is adhesive under tiles
What to avoid
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.

Stone Hill: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Stone Hill from London?
Stone Hill is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you cover Stone Hill?
Yes, Stone Hill is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can you test Artex in Stone Hill?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
What happens if the test is positive?
We’ll explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
