Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Warningcamp, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
How asbestos testing works in Warningcamp
You can’t tell whether something contains asbestos by looking at it. Only a laboratory can tell you for sure, and that is what we arrange in Warningcamp. Typical materials include soffit boards, flue pipes and textured ceilings, and people typically contact us about something broken during building work and tiles found under carpet.
Village homes in towns and villages like Warningcamp often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Weighing up your options
You can buy home testing kits, but you have to disturb the material yourself to use one. HSE advises that a competent person takes samples. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Materials, one by one
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. Testing identifies them.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, as one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
After we’ve finished in Warningcamp
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
Avoid these
Get the result before work is booked, so there is no delay later.
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
