Asbestos testing near Wilsley Green

In a village like Wilsley Green, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Helpful guides
Wilsley Green: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Wilsley Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you cover Wilsley Green?
We do: Wilsley Green is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Materials we deal with
Boards and panels
Insulating board needs licensed work in most cases, so the result matters.
Flues and tanks
Old flue pipes and loft water tanks may be asbestos cement.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Pipe lagging
- Garage roof sheets
- Bitumen adhesive
- Water tanks
- Panels behind heaters
- Floor tiles
- Roof felt
- Soffit boards
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured ceilings
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- How much sampling is needed
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Access to the area
- The size of the job
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
