Asbestos testing near Warbleton
You cannot tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. The only reliable way to know is laboratory analysis of a sample, which is what our testing service in Warbleton provides. Typical jobs include answers trades need before starting and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, including black adhesive, floor tiles and panels behind heaters.
In a village like Warbleton, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
Roof sheets are sampled safely from the edge, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What happens
We start by agreeing exactly what to sample, then sample each material with controls to limit dust. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us what the material is, where it is, and send a picture if you can
- We agree how many samples are needed and send a quote
- We take each sample with wetting and controls, and seal it
- An accredited laboratory carries out the analysis
- We send the result and explain your options
How to prepare
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
Getting a price

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Warbleton
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Group several materials into one visit
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
Things not to do
Don’t break off a piece to test yourself.
Do not break off a piece to test yourself; tell us where it is and we will sample it safely.
Warbleton questions
Do older homes in Warbleton have asbestos?
Any home in Warbleton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Warbleton from London?
We cover Warbleton, about 42 miles from central London.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you do air testing?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. We will tell you whether you need it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning

Which option is right?
