Asbestos testing near Upper Beeding
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. You’ll learn whether it contains asbestos and what kind, and we will explain your options. From results builders ask for before work and old floor tiles before a new floor goes down, we cover black adhesive, soffit boards and floor tiles and more.
In towns and villages like Upper Beeding, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Upper Beeding questions
Do you come out to small villages like Upper Beeding?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Upper Beeding from London?
Upper Beeding is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
Your options depend on what it is, its condition and what work you are planning: leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
