About our asbestos testing in Tillington

Before small jobs in Tillington, people often test first: ceilings, floors, garage roofs and soffits are typical. Typical jobs include soffit boards and something broken during building work, including black adhesive, floor tiles and soffit boards.

Village homes in towns and villages like Tillington often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Tillington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Your questions about asbestos testing in Tillington

How far is Tillington from London?

We cover Tillington, about 42 miles from central London.

Do you cover small places like Tillington?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Should I use a home testing kit?

HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. If you’re unsure, ask us to take it.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Do you give written quotes?

Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Tell us what you need

Where is asbestos found in homes?

What’s included, and what isn’t

It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:

Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Service details

Typical tests in Tillington

Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so pre-2000 buildings across West Sussex may have it.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to tests:

Boiler cupboard panels
Debris found after DIY
Garage and shed roofs before removal or repair
Soffits and porch canopies before replacement

For older homes anywhere in Tillington, from near The Parish Church of All Hallows outwards, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Tillington properties and asbestos testing

Tillington is about 12 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Properties in Tillington range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Tillington is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We work right across the region, from Tillington to Guildford (about 18 miles away).

Schools such as Petworth Cof E Primary School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works. Tillington is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, and rural properties nearby often have outbuildings with roofs worth testing.

DIY and asbestos

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Which option is right?

A test or a full survey? Testing checks the materials you’re worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. For small jobs a test is often enough. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
