Materials we deal with

We test tiles and adhesive separately where needed, as one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Roof felt and mastics
Felt can be tested before re-roofing.
How asbestos testing works in Wiggonholt
A test is a simple, definite way to find out. The result shows whether asbestos was found and, if so, which type, and we’ll explain your options. Whether it’s soffit boards and Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling, we cover flue pipes, floor tiles and black adhesive and more.
Village homes in towns and villages like Wiggonholt often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How we price asbestos testing
The cost depends on:
- The quantity or area
- Which survey type fits your plans
- What the material is and its state
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An overall view
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

FAQs for Wiggonholt
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Wiggonholt have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wiggonholt can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How do I know if a material in Wiggonholt contains asbestos?
Not by looking: only laboratory analysis of a sample can tell you for sure. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Afterwards
We seal the sample point when sampling, so the material is left safe in the meantime.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Make the area easy to reach
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
What to avoid
Leave the material alone until the result is back.
