About our asbestos testing in West Green
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in West Green you are not sure about, testing a sample settles the question. If it’s clear, work can go ahead normally; if not, you will know what precautions are needed. From boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, we deal with black adhesive, panels behind heaters and floor tiles.
Homes in places like West Green with older garages and outbuildings often have cement sheet roofs that are worth testing before repair. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
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.
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a photo
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

A small sample of the coating is enough, from a discreet spot.

After the job
Some results mean the work is licensed, and we’ll explain what that involves.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Clear access to the area
- Group several materials into one visit

Avoid these

Common questions in West Green
Is asbestos common in West Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in West Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover West Green and the area around Crawley station?
Yes. Crawley station is about 0.8 miles south of West Green, and we cover both.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in West Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
