Asbestos testing in Stone Street
The regulations require asbestos analysis to be done by an accredited laboratory. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. People often contact us about old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and soffit boards, including garage roof sheets, black adhesive and flue pipes.
Rural properties near Stone Street may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo; only a lab can
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Afterwards
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
What to avoid
Please don’t take your own sample.
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.

Common questions in Stone Street
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Stone Street from London?
Stone Street is about 22 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you cover Stone Street?
Yes. We cover Stone Street and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Typical tests in Stone Street
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so materials in homes and buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- A material damaged during DIY
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- One-off checks in rented property
If your home is one of the older properties in Stone Street, near St Lawrence or elsewhere, test any suspect materials before renovation.
