How asbestos testing works in Storrington
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone analysing samples to identify asbestos must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Our samples go to an accredited lab, and you get the written result. Whether it’s porch canopies and debris found after DIY, we deal with panels behind heaters, garage roof sheets and black adhesive and more.
Properties in Storrington with outbuildings often have cement sheet roofs that are worth testing before repair. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

The scope of asbestos testing
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Roof felt
- Garage roof sheets
- Panels behind heaters
- Bitumen adhesive
- Floor tiles
- Soffit boards
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured ceilings
What happens next
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we’ll explain what happens then.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Photos of the material help us plan
Things not to do
Test before booking the builders, so you can plan properly.
If a material is already damaged, keep people and pets away from it, and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris.
How it works
We start by agreeing exactly what to sample, then sample each material with controls to limit dust. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.
- Send us photos of the material
- We confirm a test is the right choice, rather than a survey
- Our surveyor takes the samples
- The lab tests the samples
- We explain what the result means for your plans
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park

FAQs for Storrington
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes, we cover Storrington and the area towards Pulborough station, about 3.9 miles north-west.
Do older homes in Storrington have asbestos?
If your home in Storrington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What affects the price in Storrington
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos testing:
- The number of materials to sample
- Parking and access charges
- The survey type
- The quantity or area
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

For businesses and landlords in Storrington

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What we deal with in Storrington
Asbestos was used in building products until 1999, so materials in homes and buildings across West Sussex built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Something broken during building work
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
For an older property in Storrington, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or not, test any suspect materials before renovation.
