Asbestos testing in Tattenham Corner
Testing is quick to arrange and gives a definite answer. You’ll learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain your options. Whether it’s answers trades need before starting and soffits and porch canopies before replacement, we cover textured ceilings, garage roof sheets and soffit boards and more.
In a village like Tattenham Corner, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Tattenham Corner questions
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Tattenham Corner contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Tattenham Corner can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you test Artex in Tattenham Corner?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Some contain a small amount of asbestos.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Tattenham Corner must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in Tattenham Corner, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What we deal with in Tattenham Corner
Testing can show a material does not contain asbestos at all, which saves time and money.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Something broken during building work
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
- Answers trades need before starting
If you live in an older house in Tattenham Corner, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.
