Asbestos testing for Stonehill Green
Asbestos testing near Stonehill Green
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we’ll explain what that means for your plans in Stonehill Green. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling and single materials in rented homes between tenancies, we deal with floor tiles, flue pipes and garage roof sheets.
Village homes in places like Stonehill Green often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Looking after things afterwards
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Send photos of the material and where it is
Avoid these
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t try to clean it up.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Textured coatings
Artex and similar coatings are a frequent request. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
- Soffit boards
- Garage roof sheets
- Panels behind heaters
- Bitumen adhesive
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
The process
Samples are small, bagged, labelled and recorded, then go off to the lab. The work area is kept clear while we are working.

- We confirm a test is the right choice, rather than a survey
- We visit and take the samples
- The samples go to an accredited laboratory
- We explain what the result means for your plans

FAQs for Stonehill Green
Do older homes in Stonehill Green have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Stonehill Green may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Stonehill Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, as it means disturbing the material. We can do it for you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need more than one sample?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We’ll advise when you tell us what you’re testing.
