Asbestos testing for Warminghurst properties
Asbestos materials often look just like materials without it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, which is what our testing service in Warminghurst provides. Whether it’s boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and checks before maintenance in rented homes, we deal with garage roof sheets, soffit boards and textured ceilings and more.

Questions from Warminghurst
Do you cover small places like Warminghurst?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Warminghurst and the area around Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 4.7 miles west of Warminghurst, and we cover both.
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.
When will I get the result?
Timing depends on the lab. We will tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How many samples will I need?
Typically one per material, sometimes more. We’ll advise when you tell us what you are testing.
For businesses and landlords in Warminghurst
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Weighing up your options

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
