Asbestos testing in Titsey
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Titsey you are not sure about, a sample test gives you an answer. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you’ll know what precautions are needed. Typical jobs include single materials in rented homes between tenancies and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, involving garage roof sheets, floor tiles and black adhesive.
Rural properties near Titsey may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The process
We start by agreeing exactly what to sample, then sample each material with controls to limit dust. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Let us know which materials you’re worried about
- We confirm the number of samples and the price
- We visit, take the samples and seal each point
- The samples are logged and sent to an accredited laboratory
- The written results come back to you, and we explain them
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
How to get a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Helpful guides
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and does not cover:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Garage roof sheets
- Panels behind heaters

FAQs for Titsey
Do you come out to small villages like Titsey?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Titsey from London?
Titsey is about 16 miles from central London, well within our area.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
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.
How many samples will I need?
Normally one for each different material, with extra where the same material appears in different places. We will recommend a number once we know more.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
