How asbestos testing works in Strettington
A test is the right choice when you are worried about particular materials. For larger projects in Strettington, a survey covers more, and we’ll say which makes sense. We often deal with garage roof sheets, black adhesive and textured ceilings, and people usually contact us about answers trades need before starting and one-off checks in rented property.
In areas like Strettington, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Afterwards
The sample point is sealed when we take the sample, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Going forward:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Clear access to the area
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
Things not to do
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
Please do not take your own sample; tell us where it is and we’ll sample it safely.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
