How asbestos testing works in Tyler Hill
If something has been damaged during work in Tyler Hill, stop first. Testing a sample tells you what you’re dealing with. From single materials in rented homes between tenancies and answers trades need before starting, we deal with floor tiles, textured ceilings and panels behind heaters and more.
In a village like Tyler Hill, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- 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

Tyler Hill questions
Do you work near Canterbury West station?
Yes. Canterbury West station is about 1.6 miles south of Tyler Hill, and we cover both.
Could my house in Tyler Hill contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
When will I get the result?
It depends on the laboratory’s workload. We’ll give you an idea when we book.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I use a home testing kit?
Sampling is best left to a competent person, according to HSE, as it means disturbing the material. We can do it for you.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
- How big the building is
- The size of the job
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Every job is quoted in writing. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
