Asbestos testing for Whitehall properties
Testing suits one or two specific materials. For larger projects in Whitehall, a survey covers more, and we will say which makes sense. People often contact us about corrugated roof sheets and lab results for contractors before they start, including textured ceilings, garage roof sheets and black adhesive.
Rural properties near Whitehall may have materials of very different ages, so each material needs its own test. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What affects the price in Whitehall
Quotes vary because of:
- Parking and access charges
- The number of materials to sample
- The size of the job
- Access to the area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- A photo of the whole area
- Where we could park

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
Duty holders and landlords in Whitehall
If you manage or own a block in Whitehall, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Testing materials in Whitehall
Whitehall is about 6 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Whitehall has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Whitehall is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. Our area stretches from Whitehall to Crawley (about 12 miles away).
If your home is one of the older properties in Whitehall, near The Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work. For rented homes around Billingshurst station, testing before work avoids delays.
We carry out tests all over RH13. Neighbouring places we cover include Shipley (1 mile north-east), Broomer's Corner (1 mile west), Dragons Green (1 mile north), Dial Post (2 miles south-east) and West Grinstead (2 miles east). Further out, we also cover Crawley (12 miles north-east), Horsham (6 miles north-east), Worthing (11 miles south), Haywards Heath (12 miles east), Burgess Hill (11 miles east) and Littlehampton (13 miles south-west).
Open spaces near Whitehall include Knepp Wildland.
Options to consider in Whitehall
One sample or several? Different materials, and sometimes the same material in different places, need separate samples. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what asbestos testing does and doesn’t cover:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst

Some practical advice:
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Group several materials into one visit
Avoid these
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and don’t try to clean it up.
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
What happens
Samples are small, bagged, labelled and recorded, then go off to the lab. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Tell us what you’d like tested

- The samples are logged and sent to an accredited laboratory
- The written results come back to you, and we explain them
