Asbestos testing in Stonecrouch
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Asbestos testing for Stonecrouch properties
A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. If you are planning bigger work in Stonecrouch, a survey of the areas affected is generally better, and we will say which makes sense. Typical jobs include lab results for contractors before they start and corrugated roof sheets, including black adhesive, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Village homes in areas like Stonecrouch often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Choosing the right option

Why choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Accredited laboratory results

- Each material’s condition recorded

What we do and don’t cover
Before you book, note that:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Questions from Stonecrouch
Do you cover Stonecrouch from London?
Stonecrouch is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Stonecrouch contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
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. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
When will I get the result?
That depends on the laboratory. We’ll give you an idea when we book the sampling.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
