Asbestos testing near Turners Hill
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, and that’s what we arrange in Turners Hill. From old floor tiles before a new floor goes down and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we deal with flue pipes, textured ceilings and soffit boards and more.
Village homes in towns and villages like Turners Hill often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

FAQs for Turners Hill
Do you work near East Grinstead station?
Yes. East Grinstead station is about 3.3 miles north-east of Turners Hill, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Turners Hill have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Turners Hill can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you test Artex in Turners Hill?
Yes. A small sample of the coating is taken and analysed. Older coatings can contain a small amount of asbestos.
Do you work in Turners Hill?
We do: our area includes Turners Hill and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What happens if the test is positive?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. Then the options depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it, or remove it.
For businesses and landlords in Turners Hill
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Textured coatings
We take a small piece of the coating, from a discreet spot.
Which option is right?
Testing before work normally costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
