How asbestos testing works in Woolmer
Sampling is done carefully: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. That’s safer than breaking off a piece yourself. We often deal with flue pipes, garage roof sheets and panels behind heaters, and typical jobs are a material damaged during DIY and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural properties near Woolmer may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Woolmer: your questions answered
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 you cover small places like Woolmer?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
You cannot tell by looking; a lab test is the only reliable way. We take the sample and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How it works

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Common materials
- Soffit boards
- Panels behind heaters
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Bitumen adhesive
- Water tanks
- Garage roof sheets

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common reasons for tests in Woolmer
Many trades won’t touch older ceilings or floors without a test, and a written lab result gives them what they need.
Typical jobs in Woolmer include:
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Artex before downlights or rewiring
- Tiles found under carpet
- Porch canopies
For older homes anywhere in Woolmer, from near St Matthew's Church outwards, test any suspect materials before renovation.

Which option is right?
Testing before work usually costs less than dealing with asbestos found halfway through a job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
