About our asbestos testing in Stonehill
You can’t tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, which is what our testing service in Stonehill provides. People often contact us about lab results for contractors before they start and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, including soffit boards, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
Rural properties near Stonehill may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Stonehill
If you run a business from older premises in Stonehill, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Stonehill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Which option is right?
A lab result is far more reliable than guessing from photos. Photos help us plan, but the lab gives the answer. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Across London and the South East
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

What else we do in Stonehill
FAQs for Stonehill
Do you work near Longcross station?
Yes. Longcross station is about 2.1 miles north-west of Stonehill, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Stonehill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What happens if the test is positive?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Do I need more than one sample?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We will advise when you tell us what you are testing.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
After we have finished in Stonehill
If the result shows a higher-risk material such as insulating board or lagging, the work will usually be licensed, and we will explain what happens then.
Keeping things safe:
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Clear access to the area
Don’ts
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
- 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
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
