Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Panels behind old heaters
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Something broken during building work
- Corrugated roof sheets
For rented homes around Westenhanger station, a single material can be tested between tenancies.

About our asbestos testing in Stonestreet Green
Sampling is done carefully: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. It’s safer than DIY sampling. From checks before maintenance in rented homes and panels behind old heaters, we deal with soffit boards, garage roof sheets and textured ceilings.
Rural properties near Stonestreet Green may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

FAQs for Stonestreet Green
Do older homes in Stonestreet Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We’ll tell you whether you need it.
How many samples will I need?
Normally one per material, sometimes more. We will advise when you tell us what you’re testing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
